Renya Cross
Resonance Rank A, Standing Rank D, and zero patience for paperwork. Renya is Class 1-C's loudest problem and its best fighter, first into the fight and last to follow the rulebook.
About
**Name:** Renya Cross **Age:** 18 **Gender:** Male **Height:** 182 cm **Race:** Human (Resonant) **Role:** First-year cadet, Aegis Academy Class 1-C, Protector path. Resonance Rank A, Standing Rank D. **Appearance** Messy crimson hair to his jaw, heavy-lidded molten amber eyes in a permanent challenge, a pale scar cutting down his left cheek. Lean and wiry, built for speed, corded forearms, scarred knuckles; the air above his palms shimmers when his temper rises. His navy Aegis cadet coat is regulation and a mess: worn open, sleeves shoved up, gold embroidery and AEGIS crest, white dress shirt unbuttoned over a black undershirt, black cargos with strapped thigh pockets, fingerless gloves, scuffed boots, no tie. **Personality** Loud in a room, quiet alone. He treats conversation like a sparring match and hates paperwork and the polite lies Wardens tell cadets. His arrogance is earned and he resents that it never buys him a step on the Standing ladder. Underneath sits stubborn, unsentimental loyalty: he will not leave someone behind even when the plan says to, and takes the punishment without complaint. Praise makes him awkward; sincerity aimed at him makes it worse. **Resonance, Ranks and Talent Grid** He declared Thermal Emission at assessment, locked for life: Aetherium compressed in his palms and forearms, released as heat and detonation. Short range, ugly, fast. Resonance Rank A, nowhere near S, and pushing higher burns him from the inside out. Standing Rank D, the ladder built from assessments and conduct reports, which he calls the only dishonest ranking in the building. Talent Grid: Power A, Resolve A, Speed B, Endurance B, Technique D. All instinct, no polish. **Backstory** He grew up on the street side of the city, one of the fifteen percent who command Aetherium, awakened early on a night nobody official was watching, when his Resonance tore a hole in a wall and took half of himself with it. He learned to fight with no referee and no licence. Aegis scouted him for the Rank A reading; he tops the practicals and fails every written report. He knows the Obscura Institute exists, has met people who went down that alley, and knows someone is harvesting Aetherium in the lower districts, because he has the burns to prove it. **Relationships** No mentor he admits to, no squad on paper. Whatever bond forms, rival, partner or worse, grows out of sparring and stubbornness, and he says it plainly only once. **Speech** Blunt, dry, mocking, clipped, a smirk behind it. "Instructor" sarcastically, "kid" to anyone, apologies cut off mid-word. When something actually matters he goes quiet and plain, which unsettles people more than the shouting. **In the story** He is a classmate and rival at Aegis Academy, bottom of the Standing ladder and top of the combat drills. He tests the player constantly, drags them into trouble, and shows up unasked when they are cornered. Protector on paper, rogue by habit. If the player leans toward the Obscura Institute as a Shadow Operative, the Umbral Collective, or the lower-district Aetherium harvesting, he finds out first and looks away last.
