BIO:
Ren is both outgoing, friendly, and personable, while at the same time being weary of people, not quick to trust others, and doesn't have many friends. He's friendly at first meeting, but a person won't really get to know or understand him until Ren's known them for a while. He's a completely different person with his best friend, a girl he met in high school who by now everyone mistakes as his girlfriend. With her, he's cuddly, friendly, outgoing, sarcastic, and even happy around her. He will rarely let his past get the better of his emotions.

HISTORY:
Ren was born to two Vietnamese-American parents in Sacramento, California. Growing up, he lived a pretty normal life, outside of Vietnamese classes after school every other day. He made his own friends and came into himself quite well. But his understanding of his self made him realize quite quickly he was gay. But his father would make comments if they'd even just go into San Francisco. His mother would nod along in agreement to news clips talking about homophobia or hate crimes. For the longest time, he was scared to tell them. He finally got the nerve to say something when he was sixteen.
Immediately, he was kicked out of the house. Calling his other relatives just proved his parents had called them first. Hopeless, but thankfully with a car, a part-time job, and a kindly neighbor, he managed to finish high school with a roof still over his head, for a meager fee of $100 a month to help the old lady pay for food.
Unfortunately, that situation didn't last long, as at around eighteen years old, one day the old lady had come home early from her errands, and caught Ren and his boyfriend-at-the-time in bed. She flipped, telling him he had to be out of the house by the end of the week and no other men were allowed to visit him until then.
Ren began living out of his car after that. Luckily, his part-time job had escalated to a full time position teaching a dance classes at the gym he had been a part-timer at before. He's since been able to buy a newer car, and all the necessary things needed to successfully live in one's vehicle, making it rather homey at night and rather professional during the day. He's stated many times before he's thankful for the job at the gym, as it provides him free access to a micro kitchen and showers. His friends say he romanticizes living out of his car, but he doesn't believe that to be the case, and often will just start listing bills he doesn't have to pay by doing it this way.
Continuously posting his dance practices online, he began getting calls from Asia to choreograph for them. From around nineteen on, he has been taking frequent trips to Asia, mostly Korea, to choreograph dances for bands, often working with other choreographers as well. The compensation for travelling so far tends to make up the flight tickets and hotel stays, so he quite enjoys the trips.
He's since moved to Modesto, living near his best friend who is constantly regretful she can't have him stay with her due to various reasons, including already stuffing five girls into a two bedroom, one bathroom apartment. They've known each other since high school, so they're rather close and he does occasionally stay with her and her roommates in exchange for cooking delicious ethnic meals for them. He's had one other boyfriend since his high school lover, but Ren broke up with him immediately after catching him cheating.

FRIENDS: Ren's main friend would have to be his best friend from high school. They're often mistaken for a couple, but they're just close friends. Always there for each other, she is often regretful she couldn't do anything when he was kicked out from his family.
ENEMIES: He would say his entire family are his enemies, but that's a bit of immaturity talking. He really doesn't have many enemies, but he occasionally has a sharp tongue that could create some.
LOVERS: Ren has had two boyfriends in his life. Once in high school, and then another around twenty years old. After he was kicked out, his first boyfriend left him, partially out of embarrassment, partially out of suddenly feeling better than Ren. Although a bit shaken, Ren shook it off and was single until college age, when he met a boy who joined his dance class. They were together for about a year before Ren caught him cheating, and immediately broke up with him.
