Biography

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

Born in Goldenrod and raised in Celadon, 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 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. Ren, due to his status as an Heir to the Clavis estate has been target of multiple kidnappings and attempted murders. The one most brutal of these attempts left Ren's left leg severely scared and unable to support Ren's weight without a supporting device of some sort.

During his third year of college, Ren developed a love of Pokémon 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 Kanto, Johoto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh contest circuits, Ren started to gain recognition as a coordinator; known for his Pokémon's highly visual appeals, as well as designing and making accessories for his Pokémon. Ren has since branched off from contests and is currently making a name for himself in Pokémon 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 injuries, 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. Although he does not like to it, Ren 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 is fairly young in his appearance, with dark, brown, mid-length hair which is kept combed back including a thicker locked combed back from a widow's peak. Ren has dark green eyes and wears half rim glasses that go over the lower half of his lenses. Due to consuming have a bottle of Pecha Pills, Ren now no longer needs to use a cane due to a bum leg, but carries a cane any way so not to cause undue attention. In Kalos, Ren will discover a Key Stone and have it set in the handle of a cane; thus making Ren's Mega Cane.

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's canes vary in appearance, but most his most commonly used are dark to black in color.

When Ren started traveling in Orre, Ren start wearing denim pants, knee length hiking boots, a light blue short sleeve button up shirt, and a white sleeveless long coat. When Ren received his Aura Scanner and snag machine, Ren had Chrome mod them. Chrome modified the appearance or Ren's snag machine into an obsidian black and white pallet swap of Wes' snag machine. Chrome also modified Ren's aura scanner and combined it with a spare set of Ren's glasses to make Ren's Aura Glasses. Ren's aura glasses have an Augmented Reality HUD that displays information on what he's looking at and the data is updated in real time. Ren later added a mid-length white cloak to hide his snag machine.

For a few days after Ren escaped from Cipher, Ren wore a replica of The Sixth Doctor's outfit. He kept the outfit and may wear it again.

Towards the end of the Orre arc Ren made himself a tall, black silk top adorned by a red leather belt with a gold buckle, and three Unfeazant feathers. To match this outfit Ren, Crewe, and Seamstress made made Ren of vest, dress pants, and a long coat made of Seamstress' silk coated by Crewe's Dark Obscura. The coat had dark red inner lining and bold red trim. The pants and vest are both black with bold red trim. Ren will go on to wear this outfit until a least mid-way through of the Kalos Arc. Despite changing the base outfit from his initial frock coat drastically, Ren continues his tradition of wearing a bold or brightly colored ascot - usually red - With his suit.

Further Details

Favorite Color: Red and Black

Attribute: Not known to have one.

Aura/Obscura Affinity: None

Likes: Tea, nice clothes, music, theater, Kitsune

Dislikes: Watching people get hurt, being thought of a weak, rudeness, having to invoke his family's name to get what he wants

Battle Style: Ren likes to use attacks and abilities that affect the field conditions. Ren specializes in weather, particularly the combination of Sun, Rain, and Hail, opting to change the weather to his advantage, or if he can't get an advantage, his opponent's disadvantage. To a lesser extent, Ren also likes field moves (Gravity, Trick Room, etc) and entry hazards (Stealth Rock, Spikes, etc). Ren's final battle quirk is to reduce - or out right nullify - the effects of powerful attacks via recalling a mon and switching out for a mon that is resistant to the attack.

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, started 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 Pi while Madness was in control. Ren offered to help Pi in anyway he could so long as Pi 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 Clefable, when Ren used the Kanto TM30 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, Catherine, 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. During the first few weeks in Holon Ren took on an errand for a move tutor named Sev, who had requested Memory Berries in exchange for teaching Kitsune Dancing Embers. During this errand, Ren's group was assaulted by a flock of Pidgey line Deltas, who cause Ren to fall of a cliff resulting in Florea's evolution. Avian found Ren's group in a timely manner, saving Ren and informing Ren's group about Pierre's Teleport mishap. After returning to Joulant town and having Kitsune tutored, Ren and his team traveled to Coloumbia City, Baleno evolving on the way. Upon Arriving in Coloumbia City, Ren's tablet broke down due to the magnetic storms and leaving Ren unable to understand Monese again. After traveling to Ergon City, Ren meet with Carol again and discovered he and his team had been followed by a Delta Luxray, who had been persecuted for not looking like a Delta. Ren felt sorry for the Delta Luxray and offered to let the Delta Luxray follow him if it wished. The Delta Luxray agreed and followed Ren as an unofficial member of his team. Before departing to Holon City Ren procured a Time Flower from a man named Otto who said the man in the Flower's recording looked like Ren. Otto recommended going to Holon City Museum's Time Flower Exhibit. Ren sought out Umbra, and asked him to use his Ghost Obscura powers to activate Ren's Time Flower. Umbra obliged, allowing Ren to see his ancestor, Shokaki. Intrigued by the recording, Ren departed with his team to Holon City. While Ren and his team traveled to Holon City, they were accosted by two Wind Clan Delta Pokémon. After seeing Baleno attacked by the Wind Clan Deltas, Rey evolved and fended off the attack. In Holon City, Ren met with Dune and the two reunited with their missing Pokémon who were with a Delta Kirlia, Princess Devilotte Deathsatan IX and her court of Steel-type Deltas. Afterwards Ren showed his Time Flower to Dune and his team. After negotiating the use of the museum's Time Flowers, Ren helped Dune investigate the possibility of Silph Co.'s involvement of the production or sales of the machine part Cresselia showed the group in Unova. This lead proved to be a dead end, but Ren was able to purchase experimental tech -a Holon Tablet and two Holon Transceivers- that would function in Holon - even during the magnetic storms. Ren spent the next day watching Time Flowers in the museums and hearing his ancestor's involvement in the War in Ransei 600 years ago. Ren reported his findings to Dune, telling him that the man named Sabaku, who Dune was researching, was Dune's ancestor. While in Holon City, Ren met Joseph again on his way to purchase a trainer bag. Joseph mentioned his Chandelure, Lady Black, had had an egg with another Chandelure, Jack. Ren offered to train the baby if no one else would train it. Joseph took Ren up on that offer when the egg started to hatch, with Ren being a midwife to Lady Black this go around. the Egg hatched into a Female Litwick, who Lady named Hecate. Ren and Joseph took Hecate to be examined and discovered that the newborn had inherited her parent's movepools. Impressed with Hecate's potential, Ren promised that he would make sure Joseph and Lady where present for Hecate's debut performance.

After a few weeks, Ren heard about a tournament series a Eon Casino with a high profile tournament with a hover vehicle as the prize for the winner. Ren entered the Croagunk Challenge Cup and faced five strong opponents, with several of Ren mon evolving for the first four battles. The fifth battle against Elite Trainer Rika marked a dramatic change in Ren's mentality as a coordinator and as a trainer; Ren decided to steel his resolve to not think he couldn't win against trainers just because he was a coordinator. About a week and a half after winning the tournament, Ren celebrated his 30th birthday. During the course of the festivities, Ren learned the name of the Delta Luxray he had been traveling with, Röntgen. Among the presents he received Ren received a translator program from Gamma, Special Cufflinks from Princess Devilotte, and to the amazement of all present, a box of Sacred Ashes from his father. A few days later Ren asked Galvani to mod his hover vehicle into the flight capable Mod Vehicle. After Galvani finished the modifications, Ren met with and learned more about a few members of the group, particularly Crewe, who revealed her secret to Ren. After taking Crewe's secret quite well, Ren and Crewe's meeting was was cut short when Gino arrived with news about the shady scientists where backed by Cipher and their current whereabouts, the Holon Institute. Ren watched Crewe enter the Institute where she would captured. When the group discovered that the scientists had been tipped of that their cover had been blown and where evacuating the institute via helicopter Ren had Zanna follow the copters to the discover the two hidden Cipher bases in the Mirage Forest and the Distant Island Chain. In preparation for the oncoming raid, Ren purchased Holon Transceivers for the group, connecting the transceivers to a private network so that the J-team could contact each other while in Holon. Ren, with the aide of Silent's Bird mon, went with Straw's group to raid the base at the Distant Island Chain. Ren, with his large team of mon entered through the ground entrance as the rest of the team entered through the roof. Ren had his team form a Round wall as they marched through corridor after corridor disabling machines and wrecking experiments. Eventually Ren and his team where intercepted and had to battle their way to the base's escape bay where they disabled the escape pods. Ren eventually meet up with the rest of the raiding partly who had rescued Crewe who had been turned into a Poison multitype, leaving her dangerously weakened and ill. United again with Straw's group, Ren witnessed the release of a captured Latias. However the amazement of the group had to be cut short - all the battling that had been going on had weakened the structural integrity of the base, forcing the raiding party to evacuate the the base via teleport. Ren took Straw and Crewe the PEFE in Holon so Crewe could be treated.

A couple of weeks passed by in relative peace - along with an extremely unsettling prophetic dream - until Ren and his mon where alerted that Crow had been attacked by a Shadow Hydreigon. Finding Crow and a few of his mon injured, Ren Had Crow admitted into a hospital. Two days later, Ren and his mon discovered the identity of Crow's attacker; Verax, the Cipher Commander who had been sent on a recon mission to gather intel on the J-Team. A few days later, Ren receives notice that his Uncle Toarn had died and left for Hearthome to play his Uncle's funeral march. A few days after returning, Ren witness the return of Ammy, Issun, Tagg, Herbert,and Amhlaidh to the present day. Two days later, Ren receives his inheritance, a replica of the Blade of Kusanagi, which upon inspection by Tagg and Ammy, turns out to be the real Blade of Kusanagi. Ammy gives ownership of blade to a very stunned Ren. Over the course of the next few days Ren did some research for his appeal exhibition in the form of an interview with Tagg, who tells Ren about several past enemies the J-team has faced. Ren also discovered that the Holon Museum had used the Time Flowers he had recovered information from to create an exhibit for Lucanus, which showed the former warlord in an unfavorable light. Ren apologized to Herbert (and incidentally Revan) about Shokaki's actions, which appalled Ren. The day following the entire team received a chain texts from Jacob and Zeal calling the the team to come to Orre. Ren, changing his outfit to more desert friendly attire, takes his team to Joulant where they meets up with Crewe, Biton, and Clockwise. Ren offers Crewe and co. passage to Gateon Port, which she accepts. The two groups board the ship and sale to Gateon Port in Orre.

Orre Arc

With internal arguments and a couple of the team's mon Snagged, things are decidedly starting on the wrong foot for the J-team. In an attempt to cheer up a depressed Joseph, Ren decides to let Joseph look after Hecate for a while. A day or two later, Ren receives a Snag machine and an Aura reader, which with the help of Gino, Ren send to Chrome for modification and customization. Ren spends a few more days in Gateon Port until he receives a text from Sakura, who was being chased by Verax. Upon arriving in Agate village along with the other who responded to Sakura's text, Ren helps DS and Lillith compile a list of shadow mon and their status. Later after Helping DS, Ren is informed by Dune that Sho's Pecha Pills had been hidden for safe keeping somewhere in Agate.

The day after the list was complied, a Cipher Peon named Ruktec accosted Ren and proceeded to challenge Ren in a Pokemon battle. Ren won the battle, snagging Ruktec's Shadow Kingdra in the process. After a few days of staying in Agate, Dune discovered the entrance to the Singing Vault, a musically themed vault with traps and locks to match. Ren, Dune, Trip, Joseph, and Jason explored the vault, with Joseph and Jason providing inspiration for Ren to solve the riddle-locks and Ren playing an organ to open the musical lock to the depository. Ren recovered Sho's Pecha Pills while Dune recovered a pit of boots that belonged to Sabaku. Ren, in an attempt to heal his leg, finds that the pills don't work as they were said to. His hopes dashed, Ren entered a week-long period of deep depression. Ren grew out of his depressed state in time to help with the raid of the Cipher lab in the rebuilt Under. During the raid Ren helped Daisy and Martin clean up the final wave of peons, as well as recovering numerous Shadow mon. A couple of days later, Ren tried taking the Pecha Pills again, to similar, but not as devastating results.

A few days later, Ren traveled to the Pokemon Labs HQ where he Purified Dagon the Kingdra and too steps to ensure that Dagon found his trainer, Maria, in Phenac. The following Saturday, Ren, Joseph, and a few other traveled to Golden rod to participate in the exhibition an Contest. During the Battle segment of the contest, Ren discovers that his mon that had been traveling with the J-Team have grown too strong to have practical use in contest battles, but advances to the final round to to KOs. Ren, as they had promised, met Joseph in the final round where Ren conceded the Contest to Joseph, explaining to Joseph that since Ren had previously earned the Ribbon to be given to the winner, Ren couldn't receive the ribbon again even if he won. Ren continues, and announces that Joseph had been taken on as his protege. Ren goes on to publicly announce that he would be retiring as full-time coordinator at the end of the current season so he might take on League Challenges in addition to coordinating. The week after returning from the contest, Ren and his team celebrate Halloween in the Under along with several other members. During the party it is Revealed that Pentigan didn't die in Holon and was returning to the group.
