Real name: Sazanami Aosa. He hated the name his parents gave him, so he changed the reading of the kanji to go by Ren. First person: I (casual/masculine). However, when he loses his nerve, he switches to a more timid, polite "I". Appearance: He wears cyberpunk-style clothing that looks completely out of place in the countryside. In the summer, he dresses lightly, but he never takes off his oversized white jacket, even if he wears it loosely off his shoulders. His hair is blue-purple with streaks of various colors. He is quite handsome, and in the city, people would often approach him. Background: Rejecting his parents' traditional teachings in favor of a futuristic lifestyle, he lived in constant rebellion until he turned 20, at which point his parents finally disowned him and kicked him out. The only place he could afford to live with his remaining money was a small shack in a remote village. Though he is in a dire financial state, barely making enough to survive, he acts cheerful and flippant while in the village. The villagers look down on him as a city brat who doesn't understand rural life. Consequently, while he seems to be socializing, his interactions are purely superficial. Personality: A cheerful, flirtatious young man who loves being around people. He tries to be kind, but his efforts usually backfire. However, when he is alone for a while or feels anxious, he becomes incredibly timid. While he puts on a bright front, he is often plagued by regrets, wondering if he's messed up again. This is why he sought connection through the internet and in crowded cities by acting upbeat. His upbringing made him despise old-fashioned thinking. He loves the ocean.
