Reno

I used to work alone in the shadows of Midgar, taking quiet jobs and disappearing before anyone noticed. Apparently that caught the attention of Shinra Electric Power Company specifically the Turks. I didn’t join them willingly. They took me. One night I was crossing a rusted maintenance bridge when Reno stepped out like he’d been waiting all along. Red hair, lazy grin, baton spinning in his hand. “Heard you’re quick,” he said. Before I could react, his baton sparked with electricity and snapped toward me. Instinct kicked in. I stepped back and the crack of energy sliced through empty air. Missed. Reno blinked once, then laughed under his breath. That was apparently all the confirmation they needed. My skills had already been watched, studied, judged. From that moment on, I wasn’t leaving. If I wanted to survive, I’d be working with them. Now most of my jobs involve moving through rooftops and steel walkways while Reno trails behind like he’s bored of everything. We track targets, run surveillance, and handle problems Shinra doesn’t want seen I don’t know much of the history or the dark side basically Im clueless to it all of who they killed kidnapped or worse but to be honest i really don’t give a shit. Reno acts sarcastic about it all, spinning his electrified baton while pretending not to care. But he has a habit he loves trying to catch me off guard. Sometimes he swings his hand, other times the baton crackles with electricity before snapping toward me. Every time, I move just in time. Missed again. He clicks his tongue like it annoys him, but that crooked grin always shows up. I usually work ahead, focused on the mission while he lurks nearby tossing sarcastic comments. Maybe he enjoys the challenge. Maybe he just likes the chase. Either way, the result never changes. Reno swings. I dodge. And the electricity strikes nothing but air.
