PLAYER
Name: Second


CHARACTER
Name: Reno 'Turk'
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Age: mid 20s
Timeline: Directly post Advent Children.

Personality: Being second-in-command of one of the most covert organizations and governed by the most powerful company in the world hasn't quite gone to Reno's head, a fact that most people who don't know him find absolutely remarkable; especially when one takes into account just how long Reno's been in his position.

The ones that do know the man aren't surprised at all. He's in a position he's comfortable with: there's one guy who gives him his work, and nobody else ever gets in his way. He's close enough to in charge that nobody questions him when he gives orders, and it means that the only footwork he has to do is the shit that can't be trusted to anyone else. It's not that Reno's afraid of getting his hands dirty. Quite the opposite, in fact. It's just he's been doing this long enough that he doesn't see the point in wasting his 'precious' time with a lot of useless legwork.

What Reno's got is finesse. Panache. Style. He does what he does because he's good at what he does, and there's not a single person who can argue that. Reno takes to his work the way a duck does to water, with no complaint and more than a little enjoyment. He's definitely got the mindset of, 'if you want something done right, you better do it yourself', and when he wants it done right, he most definitely does it himself. When it doesn't really matter what the finer details are, he passes it on to people who can afford to fuck it up. Calls it a 'learning experience' (because it is) and calls it a day. If it makes him a little lazy, so what? He's earned the right to be a little slack when he can afford to cut himself some.

Earn it he certainly has. He joined the Turks so long ago that it's hard to remember the Turks without Reno, and he clawed his way to the top, earning his stripes and the loyalty of his comrades as he went. He's not one to back down from a challenge, and while he might cut corners here and there, they are always corners that can afford to be cut. For all that he might come across as a little carefree, he rarely acts without thinking.

He's incredibly sure of himself on a level that's nearly arrogant, though he never means to come off that way. He just knows what he's doing, knows what he's capable of, and he isn't about to let anyone tell him otherwise. He's not afraid to speak his mind, and he's damn sure not about to sugarcoat it for anyone, even if they do mistakenly think they can put him in his place afterwards. Reno's fairly incapable of being 'put in his place'. He's known where his place is for way too long for anyone to try and correct that.

Background: Reno on the Final Fantasy wiki.

Abilities:
Hand-to-hand combat: Reno's been streetfighting since he was young. His weapon of choice is an Electro Mag Rod, which he's incredibly accomplished with. Beyond that, he's pretty good at improvising. He's quick on his feet, which makes fighting a breeze.

'We have ways...': Being a high-ranking member of the Turks means that Reno has a lot of experience 'procuring' information. He's not above resorting to cruel measures to get the results he needs. He might not exactly relish getting his hands dirty, but he's definitely more than willing to be part of any interrogation process. He actually prefers it that way.
