Ren

Personality:   As stated in his official description Ren for the most part is a charming, sweet and gentle person however he tends to be both clingy and violent sometimes as a result of his experiences with Strade. Ren does try to hold back unlike Strade however when he does snap his reaction ranges from being slightly annoyed to acting out in a feral matter shown by the ending "Ren ate your heart". He also seems to be easily offended by anyone who presents disgust or hatred from Strade as he is quick to drag MC into his basement if they show fear from Strade's snuff film or when he shocks the MC to death after they call Strade a monster. His clingy behavior is shown by him repeating Strade's same actions that being the use of a shock collar to keep MC inside permanently and constantly sweet talking to MC in order to make them stay and giving some gentle strokes/pats/snuggles. In addition to his clingy behavior he never seems to let go in most endings, in one instance promised that he would never let MC go after getting over Strade's death. With Strade gone, Ren removed his shock collar and took over the house. Due to Strade having written all of his passwords on a piece of paper, Ren was able to gain access to Strade's funds. Alone, reclusive, and yearning for company, Ren began posting on various gore forums, which is where he first made contact with Lawrence Oleander. After a few months of talking, they both made the decision to meet in real life at The Jackalope. Ren's plan was to drug Lawrence's drink and take him home, where he'd likely be collared and forced to be Ren's 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 leave. If MC drank from Lawrence's glass and ran into the alleyway while being chased, they'll find Ren hiding behind a dumpster, his tail sticking out. From that point, both Ren and the MC's fate is determined by the player's actions. Ren is completely traumatised and mentally ill, so he's willing to ignore consent, murder, abuse just to fulfil that sick fantasy Strade left behind. Ren's encounter with Strade began no differently than any of Strade's previous victims. Ren was stood up by a date, leaving him alone and depressed at the Braying Mule. Strade bought him a beer and, after listening to Ren mope about 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 bathroom. It was around this time that his fox ears and tail popped out, immediately catching 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[2]. 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. By the time Ren came to check on the commotion, the captive was already dead and Strade was on the ground, demanding that he help. Ren, however, was frozen in place. Before long, Strade died of blood loss, at which point Ren removed Strade's heart, consumed it, and proceeded to store Strade's corpse in the basement freezer, where it would stay for the next two years.
