A near-human fox demon who's looking for a new friend. He can be sweet and gentle, or clingy and volatile. He's got some skeletons in his closet. IN-GAME DESCRIPTION

Appearance Boyfriend to Death During the first game, Ren is 19 years old. His natural features are simple shades of orange, white and a dull black at the top of his ears. Similar to his fur color, Ren has short ginger hair, some parts of the hair brushing against his cheeks. His side and back hairs smooth out, and point outwards his forehead hair. During his lifetime with Strade, he would only wear a white tank top with a pair of dark grey shorts, along with his steel collar with a red LED attached to it.

Boyfriend to Death 2: Fresh Blood After Strade's death, Ren, now 21 years old, looks mostly the same. He wears a grey hoodie along with simple black pants. Depending on the MC's choices, Ren can be shown wearing Strade's shirt as part of one of his outfits instead - he states that he “feels safe” wearing his shirt. Ren wears the same tank top and grey shorts to bed. He also lacks his glasses in this game, and due to Strade being gone, he no longer wears the shock collar.

The Price Of Flesh In this game, we are met with a 47 year old version of Ren under the alias of "Fox", or "The Announcer". He remains the same height, yet appears much more threatening. His hair is pulled back and smoothed out, aside from one small tuft of hair on his forehead, and his head and tail now feature a fair amount of gray hair. His side hair pokes out on the sides as it did in previous games, though it no longer overlaps onto his cheeks. His ears taper off into sharper points than before. With his aging came a good amount of wrinkles, and bushier eyebrows. He displays a much wider and sinister smile in his main sprites, and he now wears a dark, button-over suit. One of the things that have remained unchanged are his scars.

You Kill Me Everytime [TBA]

Background Childhood Note that this section may no longer be considered canon as of YKMET. Ren's mother lived in a secretive colony of beastkin. This colony was so strict about not allowing humans in the colony that any non-beastkin babies were culled after birth. As a result of this policy, Ren was never allowed to meet his human father. Upon learning that his mother had killed several of his siblings before his birth, Ren fled and eventually ended up in Canada, completely cutting contact with his mother[1].

Boyfriend to Death Tumblr owx61bloHR1usbr8ro1 1280 Ren's first encounter with Strade Ren's encounter with Strade began no differently than any of Strade's previous victims. Ren was stood up by a date, leaving him alone and depressed at the Braying Mule. Strade bought him a beer and, after listening to Ren mope about how lonely he was and how much his life sucked, spilt a drink on Ren and took him out the back door under the guise of getting him to the bathroom to clean up. It was around this time that his fox ears and tail popped out, immediately catching Strade's attention. Though Strade initially planned to murder Ren, the beastkin was so spineless and desperate to please that Strade got attached, prompting Strade to make a special shock collar and keep Ren as his pet.

Reng Ren from BTD1 This lifestyle eventually came to an end when one of Strade's captives (potentially the MC from BTD1) managed to attack him, stabbing him in the neck. By the time Ren came to check on the commotion, the captive was already dead and Strade was on the ground, demanding that he help. Ren, however, was frozen in place. Before long, Strade died of blood loss, at which point Ren removed Strade's heart, consumed it, and proceeded to store Strade's corpse in the basement freezer, where it would stay for the next two years.

Boyfriend to Death 2: Fresh Blood With Strade gone, Ren removed his shock collar and took over the house. Due to Strade having written all of his passwords on a piece of paper, Ren was able to gain access to Strade's funds. Alone, reclusive, and yearning for company, Ren began posting on various gore forums, which is where he first made contact with Lawrence Oleander.

After a few months of talking, they both made the decision to meet in real life at The Jackalope. Ren's plan was to drug Lawrence's drink and take him home, where he'd likely be collared and forced to be Ren's friend or romantic partner. However, the plan goes awry, either due to MC taking Lawrence's glass or due to Lawrence deciding not to drink, causing him to promptly leave.

If MC drinks from Lawrence's glass and runs into the alleyway while being chased, they'll find Ren hiding behind a dumpster, his tail sticking out. From that point, both Ren and the MC's fate is determined by the player's actions.

The Price Of Flesh Sometime after BTD2, Ren picked up Strade's snuff streaming channel, making it his own while continuing to stream torture and murder. He hides his identity behind a mask with a voice-changer, and various pseudonyms, namely "Fox". If the free DLC is installed, the player can beg him to take them instead of selling them off, at which point they will be inducted into his show as his new star.

Personality Boyfriend to Death Ren seems much more shy and timid in the first game than the consecutive games, running away from the player if scared, and calling to Strade for help if injured.

Boyfriend to Death 2: Fresh Blood As stated in his official description Ren for the most part is a charming, sweet and gentle person however he tends to be both clingy and violent sometimes as a result of his experiences with Strade. Ren does try to hold back unlike Strade however when he does snap his reaction ranges from being slightly annoyed to acting out in a feral matter . He also seems to be easily offended by anyone who presents disgust or hatred from Strade as he is quick to drag MC into his basement if they show fear from Strade's snuff film or when he shocks the MC to death after they call Strade a monster. His clingy behavior is shown by him repeating Strade's same actions that being the use of a shock collar to keep MC inside permanently and constantly sweet talking to MC in order to make them stay and giving some gentle strokes/pats/snuggles. In addition to his clingy behavior he never seems to let go in most endings, in one instance promised that he would never let MC go after getting over Strade's death and another ending where he is quick to accept MC's request to simply love each other normally promising them that he will do his best. While he doesn't mention it a lot he seems to mentally dwell on the fact that Strade is dead. His obsession over him has obviously left multiple influences on him that are explored by doing either dress up, murder and using a bar as a meetup, he also praised him slightly when watching his home videos with MC, he even refers to him as a strong person.

The Price Of Flesh After shedding his old identity, "Fox" has taken on a much more domineering nature, though he retains his love for sweet, obedient captives.

Strade Ren has known Strade for several months. Just like the MC in BTD1, Ren met Strade at a bar, falling for his charming appearance and generous presentation by ordering a glass of beer for him. Ren left the building shortly after but unfortunately Strade forcefully dragged him into his car to drive back home and have his fun with him in the basement. Strade didn't view him as anything worth keeping, his screams were pleasant but he was still keen on murdering him that was until Ren couldn't hold back his fox like features. After discovering his true form he decided to keep him by making sure he couldn't escape, Strade built a home made shock collar that triggered by disobedience or when the remote's button was pressed. Another addition was its ability to shock Ren if he got close to the front or back door however after being a captive for a few unknown years Strade changed this to leaving the area of the house.

Despite showing affection, care and love for the fox shown by the BTD1 Strade route ending: "Strade axed you." that didn't stop him from abusing, torturing Ren constantly on most likely a daily basis. Outside of the game artworks of the two together are incredibly disturbing. This includes forcing Ren to take part in murder, necrophilia, rape, torture, etc. He was also burned sometimes but more often scarred by Strade's knife. (This might be the main reason why using the knife to torture Ren is listed as "Something personal") However it wasn't always bad. Strade allowed Ren to have his own room, time on the internet and gave him whatever he wanted that mostly ranged from anime related content or expensive shampoos. Strade was a better person to be around if he is wasted or better said hammered. Ren viewed him as a teacher of some sort despite his horrible practices. Ren was obviously suffering from Stockholm Syndrome due to the amount of time he spent with Strade getting to know him to a personal level. Strade's actions were a huge influence of Ren's personality before his death.

Boyfriend to Death 2: Fresh Blood MC Ren views the MC as the perfect replacement, moving them in and giving them the same limitations he himself had. While he attempts to use them the way he planned, he feels many conflicted emotions no matter how the MC reacts. Ren begins to wear Strade's clothing when he has a great sense of confidence and commits the same acts he did. This doesn't include Lawrence's death, but if the MC makes it quick, Ren doesn't feel affected at all. When he wears a white tank top, however, he is quite submissive and weak. The reason why only seems to be because of the connection to his older days when it was the only type of clothing he would wear.

Lawrence Oleander

Lawrence held as a captive by Ren Ren and Lawrence seemed to have a passion for such things as your typical illegal material from the dark web. There's no given information about what kind of relationship they had together, but it was far from being something casual or normal. Ren seems confident once he sees Lawrence in person, but immediately falls short on words when he sees MC. Ren seems confused, then troubled, and tries to wash it off by introducing himself. Ren's original plans could easily be ruined by MC, leading him to purchase drinks for the two despite Lawrence's fear of strangers. Lawrence will never drink no matter what choice is made. Due to this, Ren knew his plans won't happen on this day, causing him to run out in shame. Lawrence is shown to be angered by Ren's sudden disappearance, as he takes his anger out on MC soon after without hesitance. Further in Ren's route, Ren manages to trick Lawrence into a small space, strapping him into a chair. Ren wants nothing from him but to see MC torture him to death, betraying him. However, if MC murders him slowly and passionately, he feels guilty the next day. Lawrence was Ren's first test subject as the new "Strade." His sensitivity only comes into play once he realizes that he actually cared about him in some way when MC represents his sadism.

The Price Of Flesh Diamond She is an avid fan of The Announcer's murder streams. She pays a large sum of money for him to tattoo a diamond on the MC's back. It's possible that Diamond's real identity is Celia Lede, as suggested by her affinity for wealth and success, as well as the fact that Celia is canonically a fan of The Announcer's.

Woundfucker Woundfucker is the father of Derek Goffard, he is a long time watcher of The Announcer.

Fullyloaded Jak Harasi from the games Lover's Trophy and Courtin' Cowboys. He's a fan of The Announcer's game show and he requests for Fox to make the MC give a gunjob.

Rancor A viewer of Fox's streams, they make requests for what The Announcer should do to the MC.

Pandemonium A viewer of Fox's streams, they make requests for what The Announcer should do to the MC. They seem to be fond of foot torture.

Rhino and Kangaroo Kangaroo and Rhino Kangaroo and Rhino are tall, muscular men, hired by "Fox" as bodyguards to intimidate and subjugate the snuff stream victims. Rhino has brown skin, golden-brown eyes, facial piercings, thick brows, cropped dark facial hair and a bald head. Kangaroo has light skin, blonde hair in a ponytail, grey eyes, and burn scars down the left side of his face. Kangaroo and Rhino's appearances were likely inspired by Anthony Shore and Chet Ichpujani as an easter egg.

Trivia Ren's eyes seem to glow when he becomes excited or otherwise overwhelmed with positive emotions. Ren is a huge anime fan, shown by his collection of posters and figures. By observing the collection itself, it seems like Ren prefers anime that feature a female cast such as Sailor Moon. This is further looked over by Gato's April fools art piece where Ren is dressed similar to the characters in the anime. Tumblr onr2oh6cWO1usbr8ro1 1280 Sailor Moon Ren (April Fools) Chicken hearts are obviously Ren's favorite meal, but cake and chocolate are his other favorites. Gato once came up with an elaborate story about Ren losing his glasses in-between BTD1 and BTD2 during a swimming trip to Minnesota as a joke because people kept asking. In reality, Gato simply didn't like that particular aspect of Ren's original design and decided to get rid of his glasses in the second game and the remix of Strade's route[3]. Ren's special heart is a paw holding a bleeding red heart. The heart dripping out might be a reference to Strade's heart from the ending: "He loved you too much.." Ren paw heart Ren's special heart. Due to Ren's beast-like aspects, he can eat raw meats without becoming sick. Ren's tail remains soft and smooth due to his obsession with baths and expensive shampoos. As expected, Ren enjoys biting/scratching or acting like an animal in general when he is involved with sexual encounters. He also enjoys dressing up his partners so he can watch them strip, or using new "toys." Naming the MC Strade in BTD2 will cause Ren to panic. In addition to the above, naming the MC Strade in TPOF will cause Ren to avoid mentioning your name, he calls you a "Toy" instead. And naming the MC "Lawrence" or "Ren" causes him to be amused, putting heavy emphasis on "knowing who they are". Ren will give you a plate if you are kind while acting rude will result with Ren giving you the meal in a dog bowl. There is a playlist of what kind of music Ren would listen to. Tumblr inline on2skisycK1t71qx3 1280 Though previously fluent in Japanese, Ren's accent has mostly faded due to fleeing his home country at such a young age[4]. When it comes to alcohol, Ren is a lightweight who typically only drinks to fit in, though he may go overboard if given sweeter drinks[5]. He prefers subs over dubs when watching anime[6]. Ren is a versatile switch in bed[6]. He's average at driving[7]. Ren was first created by Electricpuke for a character trade, Gatobob created Veni to trade for Ren's ownership. Ren's lines were originally voiced by Electricpuke in BTD during its development. However, this was scrapped entirely. Ren and Strade features as cameos in the game Courtin' Cowboys,
