Renom Kelontenon

Depiction of Renom by RocketPotatoL62

"*My name is Renom. I belong to the Kelontenon family, the respected lineage of ravens, hungry for knowledge and thirsty for the learning of new skills. I travel the world to expand my horizons and my list of abilities*"
—Renom Kelontenon
Renom is trained martial artist raven, trying to improve himself in any way with every breath.

## Appearance

Doesn't look too different from other ravens apart from his right eye being red. He wears a metal ring on each leg. Clothing black, lightweight and stitched in a way which doesn't impede movement. Wears a small bag on his back.

## Personality

Rational and fairly intelligent, but can lose his calm under stress. Trained to be agile and fast, but has no real combat experience and is not particularly strong. Finds it hard to socialize and instead prefers to read something alone. Kindhearted, but becomes really cold to someone if not treated with respect. Shy, needs some time to get used to new things and people. Likes to help others with his knowledge but gets easily annoyed if continually asked for help. Tries to constantly improve himself in any way.

Renom follows his family philosophy, called "The striving eye", which has been invented by the Kelontenon family. Those who follow the way of "The striving eye" should spend every breath they take to improve themselves in any way, whether by obtaining knowledge, improving physical fitness or learning new skills. Kelontenons signify this way of life by colouring the sclera of their family members' stronger eye red. When someone looks at a red coloured eye, they might get a feeling of fear and being stared at. The staring feeling symbolises the focus on self-improvement. The pain of injecting the red dye into the eye symbolises the willingness to tolerate pain which inevitably comes up along with progress and the actual change of the eye colour signifies the willingness to change in order to improve.

## Abilities

Martial artist. Uses his claws and beak to deal damage to strategic areas of the opponents' body (eyes, tendons, other sensitive areas). The rings on his legs are made of a dense steel-like alloy, which can be excited by specific frequency of electrochemical signals, which come from Renom’s nervous system. Upon excitement, the metal in the rings expands and forms a gauntlet on each leg. The gauntlets cover the legs and form claws (which are slightly larger than Renom’s normal claws) which magnify damage, done with Renom’s legs. If the gauntlets become damaged, Renom can fix them with ingots of the alloy, which he carries around in his bag, along with the tools, needed for fixing. Also, he can fly.

## History

### Backstory

Born as an only child into a family with a tradition of training in defensive martial arts and developing technology. His father trained him how to aim for the weak points in opponents' bodies to incapacitate them. His mother gave her son access to the family library and taught him the love of obtaining knowledge. When Renom was 18 years old, he received an ink injection into his eye, which coloured it red and therefore marked him as a mature member of the Kelontenon family. Shortly after, Renom received metal rings (which can transform into gauntlets), which were implanted into his legs and connected to the nervous system.

### A new beginning

Soon after the operation, Renom departed his home to travel around Avalice and find new knowledge to bring home and share with his family.
