Ren (full name: Renard Valenum Clavis), is a 29 year-old Pokemon coordinator originating from Goldenrod City, but currently resides in Castelia City.

Biography

A fan of pop culture, theater, and the arts, Renard Valenum Clavis is the son of Erik Tobias Clavis and Clara Sophia Desmond Clavis and younger brother to Martin Reese Clavis.

Ren grew up in comfort due to him coming from a long line of highly successful lawyers and business men. From a young age Ren showed an aptitude for the arts. Ren's parents encouraged Ren and his talent (Martin was already well on his way on on becoming an excellent business man). In his teens, Ren had a bad accident while riding a Rapidash, the aftermath of which left Ren with his left leg heavily scared and a trick ankle. Ren now walks with a cane because of this. Ren's parents, wanting to make sure Ren would be able to provide for himself, allowed Ren to attend the La Rousse College of Art and Technology.

During his third year of college, Ren developed a love of pokemon coordinating, and opted to become a professional coordinator. Ren finished is BAs in graphic design and fashion design - the latter of which would serve him well in his coordinator career. After a few years of running the Johoto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh contest circuits, Ren started to gain recognition as a coordinator; known for his pokemon's highly visual appeals, as well as designing and making accessories for his pokemon. Ren has since branched off from contests and is currently making a name for himself in pokemon musicals. Ren currently resides in Castelia City.

Personality

Quick to act, Ren is quirky, hammy, and a bit snarky. Ren is well versed in the ways of etiquette, calling people Mister, Miss, or by title unless told otherwise. Due to a combination of his upbringing, incidents in his life as a young master, and his father's job, Ren has a tendency to go to local authorities when there is danger. Ren, due to his own debilitating injury, dislikes hurting others (though he has no qualms over self-defense) or seeing other people hurt, injured, or in pain; Ren will do his best to try and help them. Ren also has no qualms about exploiting his family's name and influence when he deems it necessary. While Ren is quick to act, this can lead to problems for him and other people.

Appearance

Ren prefers to dress sharply for all occasions, with custom tailored clothes the norm. His most informal ensembles include a long sleeve dress shirt, dress pants, a vest, and a tie. After starting his travels with the J-Team, Ren opted to wear clothes made from silk produced by Seamstress, his Leavanny, as a base. Ren's current ensemble is a white tuxedo shirt, a black, knee-length frock coat, black pants, and a bright red ascot. Ren canes vary in appearance, but most his most common are dark to black in color.

Travels with the J-Team

The Unova-2 Arc

After a chance encounter with Carol and Herbert in Humilau City Pokemon Center. A series of events and chance meetings lead Ren to have a business brunch with Carol and Arika. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding on Ren's part, pleasant conversations turned into a stand off between the three. Carol and Arika eventually explained to Ren his mistake. Ren, intrigued by the two girls' tale, asked to join the J-Team. After meeting Umbra, who Ren calls "Your Holiness", Ren was introduced to the concept of monese and that people can translate it - which promptly caused Ren to pass out from shock. Gamma, in response to Ren learning about monese, start to stay in Ren's tablet and act as a translator for Ren via a wireless ear piece. Several days after meeting Umbra, Ren overheard two comic artist discussing the plot of a future issue where Umbra or Ammy would perform a Heroic Sacrifice. Mistaking the artists' words as an assassination plot, Ren hurried to the Unova League to warn Umbra. Umbra quickly discovered the truth as Ren remained ignorant of his mistake. While staying at the League to watch other J-Team members challenge the Unova League, Ren attempted to help stop an invasion of Dream Pokemon. During the invasion, Ren's team was overpowered, and was Ren attacked by two Infernape and slightly injured. However, Ren was saved by the timely intervention of Dune and his team, and feels grateful to them. Over then next few days Ren and Dune conversed many times with Ren alerting Dune to major events through their psychic Pokemon. Also during this time, Ren received two pokemon and four eggs from his sponsors as well as an Areodactyl from his parents that Ren named Avian. The two pokemon Ren received were a moody Deino that Ren named Dirus, and a slightly dim Druggion that Ren named Kaiju. A day after Ren received the eggs, one of them hatched in to a highly cheerful Budew that Ren named Florea. A few days after Florea's hatching, Ren helped Des and Dune stop an invasion of Dream Pokemon terrorizing Castelia City and close the reopened rift there. Upon returning to the Unova League Ren, meet a very weakened and injured Cresselia who warned all present of a giant rift was going to open over the Entralink Forest. Ren and his team helped combat the raging dream pokemon while other members of the J-Team used there dream machines to close the giant rift. Upon returning from the battle Ren was present to hear Cresselia's command that the men who captured her must be stopped and her rather cryptic clue of the scientist "came from a place of strange storms" before her departure. Ren in response to this, restructured his team into a more battle oriented team, and having Gamma search for clues as to where the foreign base could be located.

During the period of time while information was being sought about the "place of strange storms", Ren met Pentigan who allowed Ren to use the genderbending amulet, Ren dubbed his genderbent form "Rena". Pentigan also introduced Ren and Kitsune to the existence and use of the Armbands, which lead to Kitsune begging Pent to borrow the Borked!Armband. Naturally Ren's previous inability to converse with Kitsune prior to having Gamma as a translator, had left Ren with a false impression of Kitsune's behavior, Kitsune was not an extreme omnisexual, but rather, was solely attracted to Ren. Ren, unsure if he felt love for Kitsune beyond a friend of many years, took Kitsune to a masquerade party, where Ren seemingly realized his feelings for Kitsune. Upon returning to the League, Ren and Kitsne discussed acquiring an armband for Kitsune with Pentigan. Unable to find out more information about armbands beyond that they are found in ruins. Ren Asked Dune for help. During this exchange two more of Ren's eggs hatched into a Pichu Ren named Baleno and a Nidoran that was named Rey Veneno. Later that day, Ren investigated the Abyssal Ruins with Pentigan's help, where Ren retrieved two Relic Crowns, one of which Ren gave to Pentigan as payment for leading him through the ruins. The second crown was Given to Dune in a partnership between Ren and Dune, with Dune getting anything Ren didn't want from his ruin runs in exchange for Dune's information on the ruins. Ren also gave Dune a wireless earpiece that allowed Dune to hear Gamma's translations. Immediately after the deal was struck the final egg hatched into a Totodile Ren called Maxilar. Ren spent the next few days training his new team members with Pierre evolving while helping Big Dom who had sunk into one of Iccirus City's marshes. A few days later, Ren confronted Phi while Madness was in control. Ren offered to help Phi in anyway he could so long as Phi asked for his help. The next day Ren received word that the Team was leaving for Holon, the location of the "strange storms". While traveling to Castelia, Ren was accosted in Nimbasa by a mob of rabid Pokemon Musical Fans. Ren was help out of this situation by Selene, Dune's Celafable when Ren used a Kanto TM to teach her Teleport. After a timely escape and an impromptu meeting of Sabullo, Ren invited both trainers to stay at his apartment in Castelia, where they could compare notes about Holon. After a few days of planning, Ren borrowed his family's yacht to ferry Sabullo, Dune, and himself to Holon.

The Holon Arc

In Holon Ren met Joseph and his team properly for the first time. Joseph's Frosslass, Cathrine, had convinced Joseph to ask Ren to tutor Joseph in Contests. Ren accepted this proposal, with Ren having an unofficial protege in Joseph, much to Ren's pleasure. Ren is now questing for Memory Berries so that a move tutor named Sev will teach Kitsune Dancing Embers.

Has a Mindscape.

Ren's Team

While Ren keeps several pokemon on hand, he doesn't store his unused pokemon in boxes. Rather, Ren sends his unused pokemon to be cared for at his family's ranch in Johto. As such, Ren relies on Pokemon Centers and other public transfer services to swap out his team.
