Personality:
- Workaholic: Renardo is highly dedicated to his work, but it doesn’t take very much to push him to becoming a total shut-in until his work is finished.
- Intolerant of Error: Renardo knows people makes mistakes. This doesn’t mean he’ll be lenient about them, especially if they were avoidable. This is not to say, however, that he is immune being a target of his own criticism. Due to this, he tends to avoid situations altogether where the odds are against him.
- Philosophical: Sometimes it may seem as if Renardo is drifting off in his own visionary world, especially with his flowery speech.

History:
Renardo was born to his father - Julio Santos, a computer technician, and his mother - Jenny Tan, who was an anchor for the national news station in Hong Kong. He was also followed six years later by a younger sister, named Remilia. At the age of 10, Renardo’s father becomes fed up with the waves of the Six-Month War and proposes to move the family to Selena 4. Renardo and his mother both disagree however, thinking it to be too drastic and dangerous a change for the family. With the added tensions of a failing marriage, Renardo’s father left and took the unaware little girl with him.
To his knowledge, Renardo’s father never attempted to contact him since he left. He currently does not have any knowledge of the precise location of neither him nor his little sister.
After his parents separated, Renardo started painting to fill up the time while his mother worked most of the night. He also consumed endless amounts of books, mainly about philosophy or historical fiction.
As Renardo went through adolescence, his mother started become unnerved by her son’s lack of ambition - rather, she was not content with the idea of her son’s ambition being so unconventional. This was repeated to him without end. It was to the pleasant surprise of Renardo’s mother when he decided to join the military academy in Beijing. He didn’t find it the most favorable thing, but he found it the best possible way to give back to a mother that raised him single-handedly.
Renardo struggled in the physical aspects of training, severely lacking in brawn or endurance. However, he proved to be proficient in light firearms. Above all, he received the top scores on field tactics and excelled in written tests overall. At the peak of his esteem, he started combining his interests into his new passion - designing military-grade armor and garments. His designs caught the attention of the academy’s heads, even striking a few commissions.
As his schooling progressed, Renardo started experiencing an unusual amount of joint pain. For a while, he didn’t think much of it, even when it only got worse. It wasn’t until he passed out one day during a run and woke up in the hospital that he truly realized what was going on.
After further inspection, Renardo was diagnosed with lupus. With a huge blow to his self-esteem and with his physical inability to participate in many aspects of school, he made the difficult decision to quit the academy in order to salvage his grades.
As Renardo wandered life aimlessly trying to balance his symptoms with freelance fashion design, he eventually approached Somnis Health Enterprises. Striking a deal and promising employment with them, he was gifted with robotic limbs - all with the exception of his right arm. This helped with his pain management significantly, as well as his productivity.
Now at the bidding of Somnis, he has dusted off his old academy experience to provide his services to the ESU.
Gender: Male
Callsign: Sand Fox
Age: 32
Country of Birth: Singapore
Race: Filipino
Position: Field Tactician
Appearance: Renardo is often found with a slight slouch, putting him at around 5′7″. His dark brown irises are often accompanied by redness and bags under the eyes, and shielded by rectangular glasses with a bright red frame. He has olive skin with a variety of discolored blotches on his body area, but covers himself up quite thoroughly. You don’t see his body frame often, but he’s fairly underweight.
He likes to show off his stark sense style with his medium-length hair, half of his natural jet-black hair and the other brightly bleached. On most days, he keeps it neatly combed. You will never see him without his telescopic cane.
His choice of attire mostly covers him up, but his left wrist and ankles reveal that those limbs are clearly robotic.
Renardo’s voice is not exceptionally deep. If not for his inherent tiredness, he is still sometimes mistaken to be an older teenager.
Personality:
- Workaholic: Renardo is highly dedicated to his work, but it doesn’t take very much to push him to becoming a total shut-in until his work is finished.
- Intolerant of Error: Renardo knows people makes mistakes. This doesn’t mean he’ll be lenient about them, especially if they were avoidable. This is not to say, however, that he is immune being a target of his own criticism. Due to this, he tends to avoid situations altogether where the odds are against him.
- Philosophical: Sometimes it may seem as if Renardo is drifting off in his own visionary world, especially with his flowery speech.
- Meticulous Articulator: Renardo is a sucker for linguistics and emphasizes this in the way he speaks. The way he rolls his r’s can only be described as “extra”.
“In reality, fashion and armor are not very different. They protect you, give you a sense of security and comfort. You could endure the pain of getting shot in the legs and still find the will to fight. In my case, I experience that pain every day while I use my energy to treat myself by wearing my favorite jeans. That is what I call my will to fight.”
Skill Clusters:
- Armor Design/Maintenance: Renardo’s main strength relies in his attention to detail when making efficient military armor, clothing, and utility accessories. He also doesn’t slack off in providing repairs - just don’t come by his workshop too often if you want to be on his good side. Regardless of whether or not you’re on his good side, you might find his logo tacked on what you’re wearing.
- Field Tactics: While Renardo was unable to pursue being a soldier, he still has the academic aspects of military strategy locked in. He is most well-versed in devising strategies for the immediate field, but he is not inept at applying them to space warfare.
- Public Relations: Renardo has the perfect combo of having the poignant image of a tortured artist (and well aware of it) and being a firm articulator. He mainly uses his skills towards visual marketing, but when push comes to shove, he can muster his energy to face the press.
Areas of Improvement:
- CQC: Even before acquiring his disability, his physical strength, endurance, and martial arts skills had much left to be desired.His body is definitely against him on this one.
- Sociability: Despite being highly communicable, Renardo most likely does not consider himself as your friend. He seldom makes intimate connections with others. He is more likely to be emotionally attached to an object or a concept, rather than another human being. Renardo isn’t against the idea, it just doesn’t come naturally to him.
