Knox: These take forever to think up...

King: Are you complaining?

Knox: I guess not? Either way, let's get into this I guess.

The next round was Ren, and it was time to see how the stoic warrior would be customized.

It opened like any other, with Ren dancing down the tracks. Though, his dance was subdued.

Yang smirked and elbowed Ren's side, "Your turn~ Hope you're ready."

"Ren…" Knox sighed. "I don't really have much to add. Ren as a character is really quiet. Let's just talk stereotypes."

The first hat to appear was a simple short chef's hat, [Chef's Special]. (Suggested by IHateGenericCereal)

No one claimed it.

"Chef's Specials are just okay. That's it. They aren't really all that memorable in game. Not crazy good, but not hilariously bad either. Just there."

Nora chuckled a little, "Bet it could come with an apron, too."

"Oh yeah." Yang laughed. "That one that says 'Do nothing to the cook'?"

"Definitely!"

The hats swapped to show Ren wearing an ornate helmet (warring states Chinese) with a pink, horsehair tassel flowing from the top, [Heavenly Steel].

Jaune's hand was up, "Mine."

Ren raised an eyebrow, but a part of him figured it would be something aune would pick.

"Heavenly Steel Rens look like they'd be tryhards, but they usually aren't. Most Heavenly Steel users are mostly pretty chill. Occasionally, you get the more competitive types, but it might be a good idea to hear them out at least. They're usually good at Ren."

Jaune let out a satisfied breath. He could live with that one.

The hats swapped again to show Ren with a metal jingasa hat, paired with armor over the lover half of his face, [Never Say Die]. (By ThatWhichDoesEternalLie)

Yang waved her hand, "Right here."

"Never Say Die is worn by Ren's how would be the most try-hardy players, if they ever decided to play the objective. They'd be better off in a deathmatch server, but there aren't too many of those so they just play objective game types like Deathmatch."

Yang groaned, but had to accept it. She was like that in game…

Another swap showed Ren with his hair longer with a ponytail, pink streaks flowing down from the sides of his head and down the ponytail, [Party Mode].

Sun's hand was up fast, "Boom!"

As was Neptunes, "Yo."

"Party Ren's are pretty chill, but in a louder way. They're loud, outgoing, and you will be hearing them. Nothing too bad, but they can be a little much with prolonged exposure."

Neptune sighed while Sun just laughed.

The next hat was Ren with a bright yellow hard hat, [Old School].

No claims.

"Given that Ren is the quote-unquote builder class in the game, this makes sense. Now, this is the old school gamer who played a lot of class-based shooters in the day. That's it, really."

Hats changed again to show Ren with a headband over one eye and his hair spiked out to the side, [Hau Long]. [Featuring (and by) Silverswordmaster]

Blake spoke up, "I picked that one."

A low voice spoke, giving off a more bombastic personality, "What can I say about the Hau Long? Maybe Hau Lon are you going to stand there YOU SON OF A… I kid. Hau Longs are patient. Like, really patient. Truth be told, they're actually really good at the game and most of time they're killed because of someone else's fuck up or completely at random."

A scene played showing a Ruby backpedaling from someone playing Coco, running into Ren and getting them both killed.

Nora snickered at the scene.

All in all, Blake was okay with this one.

Hats changed again to sow Ren with a short tail in his hair with a long red ribbon flowing down his back, [Red Ribbon of Fate].

Pyrrha's hand raised slightly, "I picked this one."

"The Red Ribbon of Fate is worn by Rens who don't really play by themselves and only really with their significant other. You can figure out who their partner plays based on the color the ends of the Ribbon are painted."

Yang smirked, "Oh? And what color did she pick I wonder?"

Pyrrha glanced away, embarrassed slightly, "A-arcadian gold…"

Ren's new hat was a green military canvas cap with a small pink feather to the side, [Upholding Peace].

Coco waved, "Mine."

Weiss nodded, "It was my pick as well."

"Oh boy… Okay. Upholding Peace is a War Pig. But not just any War Pig, it's a full on superiority complex."

Weiss and Coco could feel that embarrassment from a mile away.

"He thinks he's the best Ren player in the world and won't hear anything otherwise. And they're usually not even that good."

Yang was cackling at the embarrassed look on Weiss's face.

Ren's new hat was a rounded hat with a brim that curved upward slightly, a set of small feathers were set in the band with three on either side, [Best Boy].

Nora's hand was up instantly, "Mine!"

"JoJo. This Ren is the best bro you can have in a game. He'll always have your back when you need him. Even when he's on the other team, you'd want to go get a drink with him after."

Nora jumped into a victory pose, "YES!"

The next hat showed Ren with a sleeping cap on his head, [Let Sleeping Rens Lie].

Yang laughed at the pun, but was now also disappointed she didn't pick it for that reason.

"This is the chill Ren. He doesn't take anything in the game seriously, just doing his own thing. Not great to have on your team, and not really all that fun to play against either. Might as well be a bot at the low settings."

Now Yang was happy she didn't pick it, but also disappointed a pun hat had such a bad stereotype.

The next hat showed Ren with a pair of buns in his hair with long strands falling from both, [Lotus Prince].

Ren's hand went up slightly, "I picked this one."

"Lotus Princes are the types that can't stand people that pick on friendlies or new players. He'll go out of his way to make sure they get to have their fun. And they can usually back it up being some top level Ren players."

Ren had a small smile and a nod.

The next hat to show up had Ren with a Nuckelavee mask over his face, [Vengeance].

This made Ren and Nora lock up in shock.

"Ready?"

Thus, the edgy music played as the screen shook without remorse.

Ths got Nora and Ren to turn back to normal and chuckle.

The scene returned to the dancing Ren on the rail.

"And that's the last of them for this round. Next up is Sun, so get ready for that. Thanks again for watching and cue that cello outro."

The viewing came to an end and everyone took a moment to stretch.

Ren nodded slightly, "I suppose that wasn't so bad."

Weiss huffed, At least you didn't have an overarching negative stereotype…

Sun was giddy, bouncing slightly in his chair, "Alright! I'm next! Let's see what we've got!"
