NEON LEGENDS - HERO - CHARACTER PROFILE 03
*** RETRO ***
Full Name:
Revren Trodem
Nickname:
Retro
Age:
19
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Retro is about 6-foot 2-inches tall, he has spiky shoulder length light red coloured hair and has green eyes. He wears a simple black t-shirt with a symbol on the back of it and a pair of black shin length trousers, with red lines going down either side of them. He also has a pair of black and red gloves, a bandana that stops his hair from falling into his eyes, a pair of brown hiking boots and a pair of dark sunglasses.
About:
Retro is Brocko's best friend and has been ever since they first met. While Brocko started out as an influence on Retro, it later changed and they both became just as bad as an influence as each other. When Retro was younger he was involved in a bad accident which caused him to lose his left arm and for a long period of time he had to make do with only a single arm, which he found a little annoying - however he adapted to this change quickly as he was still at an age where he could adapt easily. However many years later one of Reed's first inventions was a replacement arm for Retro, which Retro greatly appreciated as now he had his arm back - albeit in a different form, but it was still his arm as far as Retro was concerned. Once he got older he asked Reed if he would be able to give the robotic arm a weapon, so Reed changed the arm into a combination of an arm and a high powered, rapid fire, gun - of which Retro was especially grateful. Retro is able to lead a fairly normal life, however all that changes a couple of days after the evens with Brocko and Yuki in the major city - and his life is taken out of his own hands as well.
Description:
There is only one way to describe Retro - he is a hardheaded, stubborn bastard with almost no sense of humour, a fierce competitive streak and a bad temper - but...all in a good way. However while he may be all of the above, he is actually a very nice person and is surprisingly easy to get on with. While many people at first glance will try to avoid him, he is actually a very nice guy... once you know him at least. Retro is a very immature person - however this adds to his charm, however he can be extremely mature when the situation requires it. His stubbornness hides his determination and his will to keep going - which are two of the major things that make him who he is, no matter what the situation is, no matter the cause, if he needs to fight and win he will keep going and use his endless will to keep trying until he wins. This is one of his major strengths that helps him many times during the story. His lack of humour is simply due to Brocko's influence when they were younger - not so much because Brocko's sense of humour is limited itself, but because Retro was normally at the receiving end of Brocko's jokes. Retro also acts the way he does because of one major experience in his early life in which he ended up loosing hid right arm. This event was actually the cause of Brocko and Retro's meeting, as Brocko in effect saved Retro's life - as a result Retro now feels that he owes Brocko a life debt (which Brocko tells him is rubbish and that he owes him nothing whatsoever!). However having lost his right arm he thought up different ways of coping with his situation, as a result in battle he can think more obscurely than most. This is a definite advantage and gives him a unique way of improvising during a fight. As Brocko and Retro have been friends since they first met this has created a very close bond between the two of them. However at the same time they have also created a close rivalry between the two of them and have always been pushing it further than the other to see who is better. While this rivalry is good later on in the story it also creates some problems and has some disastrous effects on the group.
Role in series:
Retro, having been Brocko friend since they first met a long time ago, is one of the main characters who says that he'll help Brocko with his quest after Brocko decides that he can't do this alone. As such Retro becomes a major player in the story - at one point he even goes off on his own for a reason that is revealed later on. However because of this Retro ends up suffering a lot from making this decision during the course of the story, however he keeps going forward, no matter where his future is taking him - even if he knows where it's taking him.
Personality:
Retro is very hotheaded, and will gladly take up any challenge that he confronted with, even if everyone else can tell he'll lose, Retro has the ability to be blind to the blatantly obvious. As a result he gets himself into a lot of trouble, however while his friends are there to get him out of it (most of the time at least) Retro is more than capable of looking after himself. He is very proficient at hand-to-hand combat and this is helped by the fact that his right arm is robotic. Retro is very optimistic and always sees the positive side of things, even if he's loosing badly. However he has a very short temper, and once that's gone he can become a fierce opponent. However Retro can be quite thick at times, getting obvious facts and phrases wrong - most of the time his friends don't bother correcting him as they know it winds him up, however if they want to mess with him, they'll continually correct him until he finally sees the joke. Retro is a good hearted person, but is just a little to thick or stubborn at times for his own good.
Skills and Abilities:
Retro is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat and is also an excellent marksman. Brocko taught Retro how to fight and defend himself when he was younger - however Retro found it a little harder because of the lack of his right arm. As a result Retro ended up developing his own style of fighting that took advantage of his lack of a right arm and after a while Brocko stopped teaching Retro, simply because Retro was doing something so different to hat Brocko knew that he could no longer help him.
Retro also has fantastic eyes and ears, he can see better than the others can, often being able to spot something before the others can and he can also hear things from a greater distance or pick up even the slightest of noise that the others in the group cant hear. This gives him a definite advantage in the group and he is often able to warn the others of something approaching that the others either cannot see or hear yet. This is also part of what makes him an incredible marksman.
Retro does not like most conditions and any that are too hot or cold he tends to complain about. However this is not because he is really affected by them - but is simply more because he find it annoying that the temperature has to differ from place to place. He is of the opinion that the temperature should be the same no matter where he goes - but then again he is stubborn, which is why no-one can be bothered to explain to him why the temperature works the way it does.
Weaknesses:
Reeds main weaknesses are the fact that he has a very short temper - and that he also doesn't have a developed sense of humour Most of the time he will not get jokes and half the time he sees the as personal attacks. It's only when people start laughing that he realises that it was a joke and calms down.
Another of his weaknesses is his stubbornness. He is far more stubborn than even Brocko is, as it doesn't matter what the decision is - once he has made up his mind it CAN NOT be changed, no matter how hard anyone else tries. The only way for him to change his mind is when he himself realises that it is was a bad decision.
Extra Information:
Retro is another person who has the ability to use 'Life Energy', however while he has this ability he does not seem to be able to manifest his abilities like Brocko and Yuki can - though this is because his powers have developed along a different line. Retro's abilities with his life energy began to manifest itself in a form to aid him after he had lost his arm, it gave him a more abstract train of thought that got him to where he wanted and it also made him an incredible marksmen - even though he is not properly aware of this fact until Reed re-makes his robotic arm into a gun as well. After he gains his gun, he finds it incredibly easy to use it to hit the target and has an accuracy of 98% - with seemingly little effect on his accuracy no matter what the weather conditions - though extremes do hamper his accuracy. This manifestation of his energies is not the only one he has, however the other is revealed to him - and everyone else too - at a later point in the story.
