Why are they enemies? BACKSTORY Describe their childhood (newborn - age 10):Â His mom met his dad when Kenneth was stationed in Germany in the eighties. They stayed close friends for a long time and his mom got pregnant one summer while he was visiting and when Ren was born his mom couldnât afford to move to the US to be with his dad. Ren lived in Germany until he was about four, and doesnât remember much of it, and his sister was born soon after they moved to America. While he was growing up, he learned German alongside English because of his mom. His parents took them camping a lot when they were both old enough to not need to be coddled (Ren started going camping when he was six and Della when she was five). By the time Ren was nine he was super good at climbing trees and setting up his own hammock. It scared the hell out of his parents because one second heâs sitting there by the fire and the next heâs forty feet in the air and trying to encourage Della to do the same. He was really excitable and always really happy.
Describe their  teenage years (11 - 19): Ren was the most adorable teenager as is possible. He shot up like a weed when he turned twelve and was the tallest kid in his school until his junior year of high school. During middle school he tried really hard to be friends with everybody, and so everybody knew who he was. He always wore really old hand-me-down shirts from his dad and blue jeans with holes in the knees, and converse sneakers that he outgrew quickly. After middle school, during his freshman year he had another really big growth spurt and it made him clumsy. When he was a sophomore he picked up bass and French mostly as an attempt to pick up girls, but found he actually liked both. He also started to withdraw slightly, not as happy go lucky and easily stressed out. He still had a lot of friends but he slowly lost them over the course of high school. After his senior year he went into the Army like his dad and actually enjoyed it.
Describe their adult years (20+):
Ren was in the Army for seven years (2005-2012) until he was stationed in Iraq and the vehicle he was in was partially destroyed by an IED. His right arm was burned pretty badly and he was shot once in the hip during the following fire fight. He was given an honourable discharge because of complications with his arm healing and came home with anxiety, PTSD, and a fear of cars. When he got home he picked up a smoking habit and a mild drinking habit. It took him a really long time to get his fear of cars, and he sometimes still starts to panic in vehicles. Â It was after that the mistrusting, self centred, cynical side of him started to become more prevalent. He started lying about where he was and what he was doing out of some irrational fear of someone âinterceptingâ him and being shot at or something again. After a long time spent in therapy he doesnât lie as often, but still does it compulsively. With the help of his anti-anxieties, therapy, and his sister, he slowly readjusted. But the constant lying and paranoia distanced him from his parents a great deal. Â
