Character's Name: Reno

What form will your character's NV take? Similar to a Blackberry PHS. While touchscreen PHS’s are OMG PRETTY AND FUN AND PRETTY, they’re terrible for any practical use in the field. So, Blackberry PHS it is!
Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities:
Without any special abilities Reno is an extremely capable fighter in both hand to hand and with the use of his EMR or a pistol. The EMR, or Electro-Magnetic Rod is a retractable Night Stick which can be used to simply club people or can tazer them and potentially paralyze them. He much prefers the use of his EMR to his pistol, however he is competent with it. He is also extremely nimble, boasting to be the fastest of the Turks in hand to hand and in distance coverage. He is also an extremely good climber, able to scale buildings in a matter of seconds. On top of this he is a skilled mechanic and is well versed in the operation and driving/piloting of helicopters, motorcycles and cars. He can also access magic with materia, however without them his magic is completely useless.
Since he has gone through Turk training Reno is also an extremely observant individual, able to read practically any situation and evaluate all outcomes in a matter of seconds and utilize the best method; this does not necessarily mean he always makes the right choice though. This also applies to people: he can tell if someone is lying or not much more accurately than the average person. He's also a great liar himself and a great actor, able to milk both his friends and enemies for everything they're worth. He also has a much higher pain resistance level than most externally and a fast detox system. He is also resilient to any lightning based attacks.
He also has two attacks which do not appear to be materia based. 'Pyramid' encases an enemy in a sort of crystal/electrical cage and said enemy is unable to attack, although on the flipside they cannot be targeted. 'Turk Light' shoots a ball of electrical energy from the tip of his EMR at the enemy and it will often leave the opponent dazed and confused. It is still possible that these attacks are materia based, or that these are some of his limit breaks, or simply attacks given to him as a boss thanks to game mechanics. If you feel either or both of these abilities would count as a superhuman canon ability I am willing to discuss over AIM how to handle them. If you would also like I do have stats for this character.

Point in Canon:
1 week after Meteor appears. After Cloud handed over the Black Materia to Sephiroth he summons Meteor from the sky, the planet's WEAPONS are released, Cloud falls into the lifestream and AVALANCHE becomes ShinRa’s prisoners. A week later the terrorists are put to execution to help calm the people of Gaia and give ShinRa a scapegoat, however due to Saphire WEAPON’s attack on Junon they are able to escape and steal the Highwind. At the current time ShinRa has created a plan to use the Rocket 29 as a missile loaded with Huge Materia to destroy the Meteor, and are mobilizing to gather the Huge Materia from the Corel Reactor.
Character Personality:
First and foremost Reno is simply an ass, no questions asked. He teases, he insults, he pulls pranks and does almost anything in his capacity to make a nuisance of himself. Half the time it's simply because he's bored and half the time he means it. As soon as he finds a button to push he will push it over and over and over again until he’s either bored of it or he’s learned his lesson…though both tend to take a while, as Rude can attest to given how many times he’s been pestered about his love life by his partner. He’s also quite proud at times, and while he’s not always proud of what he’s done he does take pride in himself and his work. He may act like a lazy ass and complain about work and assignments (and never wear his uniform right) but at the end of the day the job is always done and it’s done well. He also sees crying or showing pain as a huge sign of weakness and inability to control oneself, and therefore refuses to show either to both friends and enemies, hating to have himself seen as weak. He also looks down upon those who do, seeing them as weak. What’s the point of getting upset and sitting in a corner and crying about it when you can get upset and use that emotion to give you strength and actually do something about it? Something his boss, Tseng, has felt first hand as he revealed to Reno all the other Turks had been declared dead and he, for lack of a better phrase, lost his shit and pretty much flipped everything except the kitchen sink (and even that probably got a beating too).
This is not to say, however, that he is a dreadful terrible horrible person, he’s just a bit of an ass and just wants to do his job and pay the rent, and at his core he’s actually not a bad guy …if you have earned his friendship and respect that is. To those that he’s close to he is loyal to a fault and will do almost anything in his power to ensure their wellbeing; while a dead Turk is a failed Turk he would much rather be a failed Turk than a failed friend or comrade. He consistently puts himself in the line of fire and the most deadly situations to avoid those he cares about getting hurt, consistently taking on tougher opponents that the rookies cannot handle and at one point nearly getting crushed by an elevator trying to bring it back under ShinRa’s control so that Cissnei wouldn’t have to risk her own life...although in the end she ended up saving his. He also genuinely cares about those he’s close to and hates to see them truly upset, and while he may have some tough love methods his intention and usually result is always for the wellbeing of his friend, even if that means telling them to shut up and stop being an idiot every once in a while...or very very often as some cases may be. He also tends to look out for those weaker than him if it won’t get in the way of his job, especially kids and rookie Turks. He doesn’t let himself trust or get attached easily though, having seen too many friends fall and having lost too many rookies in his time. Someone will only be worth his time if he knows they can pull through any situation, are just as strong and resilient as him, and will last through anything.
Don’t get the wrong idea though, I’m not trying to say he’s actually a good person and he’s just a little misguided, because that is not the case. Everyone who doesn’t know him on a personal level views him as a sick and twisted little bastard and for good reason: it’s because he is. This guy will kill without a second thought, and not just one person but thousands of people if ShinRa wills it, and at the end of the day he’ll go home and have a beer without a second thought. While he doesn’t always agree with ShinRa’s methods or plans if he’s given a job he intends to do it as long as he’s on the payroll, no matter what that job entails. Yes, even kidnapping little kids or defenceless young women. He may not be trying to destroy the world and fuse himself with the planets consciousness, but the man is insane all the same.
