OOC PREFERENCES
CONTACT METHOD: Discord: Skoryy#5308
THREAD-JACKING: I don't have any problems with this.
FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: Or this. Feel free to break Reno's mind as needed.
BACKTAGGING: I don't have any problems with this as well.
AVOIDED TOPICS: I usually avoid scenes of a sexual nature, which won't be an issue as Reno is under 18.
PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: He/Him/They (Reno is she/her)

IC CHARACTERISTICS
CURRENT CANON POINT: Right after her introduction in Multilayer Melody.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Reno has the physical appearance of a middle school girl, though more physically mature as noted by her rather prominent breast size. She has a rounded face, framed by her likewise rounded steely silver hair. Prominent is a thin ponytail behind her head, an alice band, and a lock tied off by a tiny bow to the side. Her violet eyes are rather wide, and she's almost always adorned with an inspiring smile.

Her outfit is rather sparse, if futuristic, comprised of something resembling a sheer white blouse with dark collar and red tie. She doesn't have a jacket in as much as she has sleeves with wings, exposing her shoulders and sides. Her skirt is a short black pleated affair, adorned with the Eagle Union star. Her legs are covered by full length dark nylons, and upon her feet are a pair of silver platform heels.

Upon summoning, her rigging consists of miniature hull parts, gun turrets, anti-aircraft cannons, and a shotgun, all attached mechanically to her back without any straps or frame of note.

DEMEANOR: Reno is almost always smiling. Whether she's admiring her heroes, inspiring others to follow their dreams, or busy at work on her next cosplay project, its hard to find her in a mood anywhere near neutral - let alone dour or sour. Sad thoughts, like that of her life back in Azur Lane, can bring her down momentarily, but she's almost always bouncing back. Sidekicks can't let anyone down!

ABILITIES: Reno's main superpower is what is known as 'rigging', a backpiece that resembles the hull and armament she carried during the war. She can summon and unsummon it at will, likely shouting "Henshin!" when she does. Without her rigging, she is just a normal unpowered human girl. With her rigging, she becomes, well, a literal superheroine. Her strength, stamina, agility, every measurable statistic receive an astonishing increase. She gains the durability and survivability of the original USS Reno, able to shrug off small arms fire and explosive shockwaves. Her weaponry is likewise based off of her WW2 armaments, which - while limited - still gives her a dozen five-inch cannons that can fire both at ground and air targets. Her rigging also has an array of smaller flak cannons as well, and torpedo tubes that can be quite devastating at sea and not really much anyplace else. Along with this, Reno has basic nautical knowledge, and knows pretty much everything about her weapon systems.

Her weapons do require ammo, and the Agirians made sure she didn't come with any to keep her on a more manageable power level.

What she doesn't have is the lack of mobility her original form had. Reno has all the mobility of a young woman, and is able to evade everything from large cannons to guided missles. She can easily skate across water as if sailing on it - and at considerably high speeds at that. On land, however, she's stuck to running on her two legs and is limited to athletic human speeds. She's tried building a jetpack, but that's still very much a work in progress.

On that note, Reno is also a maker that has come up with some superhero gizmos of her own. Notably the Iron Man inspired gloves she wears, which has one button that shoots out a light that goes 'bzzzzew' and another that goes 'kshaw ksshhew'. Sadly, all they are good for are the laser light shows. That hasn't stopped Reno from building and inventing more costume pieces in her quest to be a real superhero sidekick!

MEDICAL INFORMATION: Physiologically, Reno is indistinguishable from a normal human girl. She has all the same organs, and can ingest human food and drink without problem. However, she does not age, she cannot gain weight, and her hair will grow back immediately if cut. She has a hardy enough constitution to avoid most viruses and infections, though getting sick is not unheard of for kansen.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Reno is very much a comic book superhero, with all the same hang-ups regarding villiany and other moral issues such as substance abuse. She can generally roll with anything, though expect stern talking-tos for anyone crossing moral lines.

OTHER: As noted, Reno is physically under 18 so we'll go with those rules for her. I'm fully aware of her game's fondness mechanics and of her fanart, and why there's said fanart. I'm in the minority that honestly likes her for everything but her bust size. I've had her stuck in my head from the start for her concept, personality, and that she's just downright adorable.

IC PERMISSIONS
MENTAL: Reno's mind is pretty much an open book, though coercing would take some work. It can be done if one were to play to the workings of her mind where she half-lives inside a comic book universe.
MIMICRY: I would very much encourage someone to imitate Reno, just to play out her reactions and the Mystique references.
VIOLENCE: Reno is very much not against violence, its been her purpose since creation. That said, without her guns, she's limited to physical violence or whatever she can gin up in the workshop. That also said, she can still do this all day!
MAGIC: Given that magic is arguably a part of her universe, there's no problems with it being used on her.
DEBATE: One can certainly try. She's still undecided who was right: Cap or Tony.
OTHER / NOTES: None I can think of so far.

OUT OF CHARACTER:



Name/Handle: Skoryy
Contact: Discord: Skoryy#5308
Other characters: None here! I do have RP alts in FFXIV and Guild Wars 2.
Reserve: No reserve as I don't think she's that popular.
Referral: Trilo and MK kinda linked to it and I've had the Reno idea bugging in my head ever since she was released, so, uh, here she is!


IN-CHARACTER:

Character name: Reno (no, not that one)
Character journal: renoreactor.dreamwidth.com
Series name: Azur Lane (the game, primarily)
Canon notes: Reno would be arriving right after her entry in Microlayer Medley. She's been around patrolling outside of NY City keeping it safe from the Sirens.
Species: KAN-SEN (Kinetics Artifactual Navy-Self-regulative En-lore Node)
Age: She has the physical body and maturity of an early high school student, though her actual creation date is unknown. She definitely falls within the under 18 rules, though I would say not under 15.

Arrival Condition: No injuries, Reno was in tip-top shape when she was taken!

History: The USS Reno served the United States Navy admirably in the later half of World War 2, protecting the carrier fleet with her anti-aircraft artillery. She assisted and eventually helped scuttle the mortally wounded USS Princeton at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, then was torpedoed and nearly sunk herself a week later. Following repairs, she brought American troops home from France before going straight to the reserve fleet. She never sailed again and was scrapped in 1962.

Fast forward to an indeterminate time in the near future, where things are about to get wild.

Alien technology discovered at a meteor crash site leads humanity to incredible advances in technology. One of which are Wisdom Cubes, out of which are born the shipgirls known as 'kansen'. The necessity of pairing the Wisdom Cube with historical naval artifacts results in the girls being patterned off of warships from the Second World War. These shipgirls can also summon 'rigging' which gives them incredible power easily matching and surpassing any warship afloat. Nations eagerly replace their navies with their own kansen.

Which is quite handy as an advanced alien race known as 'Sirens' have descended upon Earth, looking for a fight. Humanity unites their navies in defense under the banner of a new coalition named Azur Lane, only to find some nations more eager to use the Sirens power for their own and create their own coalition known as the Crimson Axis. History rhymes somewhat as war breaks out across the planet: Shipgirl vs alien and shipgirl vs shipgirl.

Out of one of the Wisdom Cubes used by Azur Lane member Eagle Union - the successor to the US Navy - emerged Reno: A rather well-endowed young lady with knowledge and powers patterned from the original USS Reno. However, she also came with an urge to craft and even greater urge to consume all comic and superheroic movie material she came across. Finding her vast tracts of land rather cumbersome to a heroic career, she instead proclaimed herself a sidekick to Azur Lane's commander and proudly set sail to defend the planet against both the Sirens and the Crimson Axis. At least, up until she entered into a fog and emerged here on Agra 10. A world where she may very well meet the fictional heroes she had idolized.

As I told Trilo: "Oh no."

Personality:

First and foremost, Reno is a fangirl.

A fangirl with a twelve gun broadside and enough firepower to down an air wing, but still a fangirl.

Let's start with the fact that she continually refers to herself as a sidekick. Since she first emerged from the wisdom cube, Reno dreamed of being a superhero. She watched all the films, read all the comics, and even started building replica shields and hand blasters. Alas, as she will eagerly profess, her rather notable talents came in conflict with those dreams. It was hard to exercise when you can't find an athletic bra your size, and - even worse - the Iron Man costumes would never fit. It also didn't help that, in her universe, light anti-aircraft cruisers are just not as powerful as capital ships. So she's settled into being the sidekick. She's still doing heroic stuff like saving the planet, right? Then again, nearly everything Reno does she ties into a superheroic story somehow. "An unforeseen accident causes panic at the festival! That's when our plain-clothed superhero rises up to the task!" This is an actual quote from one of her skins. To Reno, life is just a comic book adventure waiting to happen.

She's also very much a fountain of endless inspiration. Regardless of whom, be it the Commander or her fellow shipgirls or new friends, Reno is full of boundless enthusiasm for their hopes and efforts. She's not the only one with big dreams, and its always up to the sidekick to make sure the heroes have all the support they need! Its not just her 'sidekick' persona either, nor her role as an AA cruiser supporting the capital ships of the fleet. Reno is just a really big cinnamon roll who wishes nothing but the best for everyone she sees on her side.

While she can seem highly energetic, Reno does have just enough wisdom to not be a complete annoyance or active hinderance. (That's San Diego's role.) She lives by the Spidey motto of "great power comes with great responsibility," and has an active interest in learning along with showing off. She wants to be a good hero, not a reckless one. She also knows superheroes need downtime too and enjoys doing regular girl things like shopping, watching sports, crafting new gizmos, and watching movies. Superhero movies primarily, of course. Despite her origins and that she's not entirely human, Reno is also still a teenage girl.

And like most teenage girls, Reno is very much a social light cruiser. She has fellow kansen, friends, and even Atlanta-class family back home that she loves to hang around with. The only time she might prefer being alone is when she's busy building her cosplays, and even then she wouldn't mind having others around to show off her handiwork too. Reno just loves being around others, inspiring others, watching stuff with others, doting on others, anything she can do to not be alone. She loves people, she can't get enough of them, and would be incredibly bored and lonely if she didn't have any to be around.

Abilities: (Even as a light cruiser, her powers might be a bit much. So I'm open to dampening if necessary.)

Reno's main superpower is what is known as 'rigging', a backpiece that resembles the hull and armament she carried during the war. She can summon and unsummon it at will, likely shouting "Henshin!" when she does. Without her rigging, she is just a normal unpowered human girl.

Her rigging also has an array of smaller flak cannons as well, and torpedo tubes that can be quite devastating at sea and not really much anyplace else. Along with this, Reno has basic nautical knowledge, and knows pretty much everything about her weapon systems.

That said, since supplies do get mentioned in the story and ammo is a part of combat missions, her weapons do need ammo. he Agirians can make sure she doesn't come with any to keep her on a more manageable power level.

What she doesn't have is the lack of mobility her original form had. Reno has all the mobility of a young woman, and is able to evade everything from large cannons to guided missles.

Personal Item: Given that her rigging is part of her body, that would be her laser light show gloves, which she almost always is wearing.

Sample:

Note that there are differences between the threads and what's in the app above. Since starting the test drive, I've caught up some on lore and lines from the game which clarified her personality, origins, and powers.
