"To wield a blade is to wield the weight of life and death."
Appearance:
In his Blade Lineage Salsu identity, Ren's appearance reflects the elegance of a master swordsman. He wears a sleek, dark navy uniform with crimson accents that resemble flowing blood. His arms are wrapped in black, cloth-like bindings, and his cloak flows like a shadow behind him. A white sash tied around his waist holds his slender yet deadly blade, its edge glowing faintly under the light. His expression remains calm, though his sharp green eyes seem to pierce into the heart of his enemies.

Uptie Story:
Which side could be the real me?
The chils grew up in quiet meditation, learning to suppress his emotions to survive the chaos of his past. But deep within, a darker part of him existed—one that craved precision and mastery, that found satisfaction in the perfect strike, and that was disturbed by the pleasure it took in eliminating foes. He feared himself, uncertain whether his calm exterior was a shield against the chaos or a facade to mask a predator within.
His time among the Blade Lineage unearthed this part of him. They called him a prodigy, a slayer by nature. They praised his ability to strike with poise and discipline, yet his heart trembled with unease. He didn't want to enjoy the violence. Their compliments felt like chains, binding him to a side of himself he didn't wish to embrace.
And so, the child walks the razor's edge between precision and peace, seeking solace in the quiet moonlight that shines on his path. The moon is his one constant, a silent witness to his struggle. It watches him as he tries to reconcile his calm, meditative self with the blade that waits within.
