cumbersome | brash | temperamental | productive | motivated
While Renly has good intentions, he is not skilled at expressing them. He’s fairly inadept in social situations and his conversations are not always smooth. He is unfortunately awkward and clumsy, tumbling through his words and often experiencing prolonged silences. He never received a lot of experience talking to others, and he is still learning what is appropriate to say and what is not. A majority of the things he says and does are in the hopes of drawing attention, since being ignored is one of his worst fears. He can come off as bold or rude when he is trying to gain the upper hand on a situation, and the things that come out of his mouth are completely unfiltered. His embarrassment or regret doesn’t come until later, once the other party displays their uncomfort in regards to whatever Renly had done. He tries to learn from his social mistakes, but it usually takes a few times to get through his head.
Renly is impatient and has a very short temper. He was handed things whenever he requested them as a child, and so he expects to be given what he wants or automatically agreed with. When someone denies his wishes or disagrees he is usually caught off guard, and then thrown into irritation. This can result in crude comments or rude actions, which are still connected in a way to his desire for attention. He wants a reaction and for the other person to give in. Once he gets either of those things, he is satisfied and will resume his normal behavior. However, if someone gives him respect and is kind to him, it doesn’t matter if they defy him. He will notice their decency and it will be more important to him than anything else. He appreciates nothing quite as much as when someone pays attention to him and treats him like a regular human being for no other reason than the goodness of their heart.
Renly works hard in both of his jobs to keep himself distracted and calm. His temper can go off at the slightest action, so taking care of his bees or working on cars gives him something to focus on. He can get quite a bit done in a day, and always has a list of the things he needs to do. He is very good at writing things down and checking them off as they are completed. He doesn’t like to lay around and he would much rather get something done than do nothing at all. It’s not hard at all for him to start a project, and he is far from a procrastinator. Because Renly constantly seeks the approval of others, he takes on a lot of work for free, in hopes of gaining favor from the person. He is surprisingly charitable and enjoys helping others, even though it is most often not appreciated like he would expect it to be.

Jobs;;apiarist (beekeeper);
One of Renly’s biggest hobbies and a major source of income is his beekeeping. Renly keeps ten frame hives in a designated area of his property, which is about a 5 minute drive away. The location of the hives and garden is a small field surrounded by a circle of trees. Renly uses these bees for a multitude of reasons, including pollination of his garden and for honey production. He packages the honey from the hives himself and sells it to local markets, and he also sells his blooming flowers on special occasions. He has a natural talent with the bees, and they enjoy working with him just as much as he enjoys them. Renly is very defensive and protective over his bees, and he takes extra measures to make sure they are happy and functioning. Taking care of the hives gives him something to focus on, so it works as extremely useful stress relief for Renly. It almost instantly calms him down or cools his temper. He has been beekeeping since he was nineteen, and he plans on continuing for quite a while.

mechanic;
Renly’s more prominent and busying job is his own personal mechanical business. On Renly’s property, which includes his house and the hives, a small barn-like building stands where he keeps cars to repair them. The shop, as he calls it, can hold about fifteen cars at a time, but Renly doesn’t like to take on more than ten at a time. He has been learning about the structure of automobiles since he was ten years old, and fixed his first car on his own at age fourteen. He was taught by a man his parents would frequently hire to fix their vehicles. Renly would spend a lot of time with this older mechanic, intrigued by what he was doing to the cars, and so the man took Renly on as a sort of apprentice, teaching him more and more each time he visited the manor. Eventually the family mechanic stopped making visits, likely retired, and Renly took up the job of fixing the family automobiles. Renly’s customers seem to be satisfied with his work, and he has a steady influx of business. He spends the majority of his free time working on fixing the cars in his shop, as it is quite enjoyable for him. Just like beekeeping, repairing the damaged vehicles keeps his mind from wandering and allows him to concentrate on something productive.● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Relationships;;Renly and Lisian wrote:
>>Renly and Lisian share a sort of symbiotic relationship, in the sense that they are normally helping each other out. Both of them own a garden that they frequently tend to, so the trading of flowers and other supplies between each other is not uncommon. Renly gives Lisian his pollinated flowers and gifts of honey, and in return Lisian gives him tips for growing plants and seeds for unique blossoms. Renly admires Lisian’s constant upbeat personality and very much enjoys the company of the smaller gardener.Renly and Kinoko wrote:
>>Kinoko owns a small botanical nursery not too far out of Renly’s way, so he regularly finds himself making visits to her shop to buy supplies. Kinoko’s friendly greetings and polite small talk are something that Renly looks forward to during his trips. He thinks she is a very nice young lady and is always thanking her graciously for her help. Renly feels like Kinoko speaks to him out of genuine kindness, and not out of necessity.Renly and Jay wrote:
>>While Renly first attended the small group on his own decision, Jay was not there by choice and had rather been signed up by his friend who insisted that he get out more. The socialization group was a club of sorts with the intentions of bringing people together in the city and building a small community that benefit both the participants and the citizens. That is where Jay and Renly met. Their relationship is more enthusiastic on Renly’s part, because Jay is so passive and usually agrees to whatever the older man suggests. Their friendship is built more on mutual awkwardness and they stick together because neither of them have many other friends. They enjoy each other’s company nonetheless.Renly and Velius wrote:
>>Renly and Velius met at the gym during a members-only competition that tested athletic ability. The two men ended up competing against each other in the final round of the event, and Velius beat Renly by a matter of mere seconds. The two ended up building a small friendship over this, one based off friendly rivalry. They don’t usually spend time together outside of the gym, but typically coordinate days and times for them to work out together. They motivate each other when exercising, and also strive to outdo the other.● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
