Escordvi

Cloud Strife

Ever since Meteorfall there's been an uneasy truce between the Turks and Cloud, one that Reno finds himself thankful for now that he's isolated from his lifelong partners. It's forced Reno's hand into extending Cloud more trust than he wants to give, but beggars can't be choosers and at least he knows Cloud is an earnest person. In exchange for reliability and to continue reinforcing shaky ground, Reno has been skirting the line of his NDA with ShinRa to answer questions Cloud might have regarding his past.

Zack Fair

{FF VII}
activatingcombatmode @ escordvi

It was hard looking one of the Turks' most difficult failures in the face, and just as much of a shock seeing a sorely missed face. He was relieved to have someone here whose trust he doesn't question, and as such, Reno didn't miss a beat when it came to falling back into old patterns with a good friend. Being older and wiser, Zack's presence and everything it entails is something Reno makes sure not to take for granted this time around--though(answering for Nibelheim and Platefall aside) he still shows his respects and concerns in his own subtle ways.

Tifa Lockheart

{FF VII Remake}
starshower @ escordvi

Tifa had always seemed the most tolerant of the Turks' presence at the Seventh Heaven back home, which very likely paved the way for the slowly stabilizing truce between the two sides. Reno enjoyed her company and the drinks she could whip up, so coming to Escordvi and finding out she was from a very maligned point in the past where her feelings were much more raw towards the Turks was a terrible surprise. He gives her space, but he tends to mope a lot that he can't drop by the local Seventh Heaven with Rude to grab a drink after work like he's used to.

Nanaki / Red XIII

{FF VII}
feralhumanity @ escordvi

Reno has very little idea how Nanaki actually feels towards him since they almost never cross paths--though understandably so--and he holds no expectations. Should Nanaki still be embittered towards the Turks for having brought him in to Hojo's lab in the first place, he would understand, and not lose sleep over the animosity. While he was curious about Nanaki, the two were never any kind of close.

Toge Inumaki

{Jujutsu Kaisen}
cursedwords @ escordvi

When Reno was put out of commission by a poison dart, Toge sat and stayed with him while he was recovering. It was a small gesture, but with how lonely Reno was without his usual partner, Rude, to check on him, it still meant a lot and left a good impression. The guy was a complete stranger to him, but ever since then, Reno will hang out with Toge when they bump into eachother. He hasn't gotten to see past the thoughtful and tough mask Toge puts on, but that's something that'll come with time.

Dongfang Qingcang

{Love Between Devil & Fairy}
yuezun @ escordvi

Their interactions were brief and professional, but Dongfang's first impression left a strong taste of 'Rufus ShinRa' in his mouth. That, and he found out from the grapevine this guy keeps a lot of academics under his supervision. Reno's opted to stay under Dongfang's umbrella, carrying on his duty as Turk. It may be a devil of a different name, but until observations prove otherwise, Dongfang is still a devil he knows. On the plus side, Reno is so used to harsh personalities and death glares, that Reno brushes most of it off with a laugh.

Ranma Saotome

{Ranma 1/2}
catsgothistongue @ escordvi

Upcoming! However, Reno has run into Ranma a few times, and with how standoffish the kid is, he absolutely loves being petty and antagonizing Ranma until they get into online pissing matches over absolutely nothing.

Satoru Gojo

{Jujutsu Kaisen}
unliminal @ escordvi

Upcoming! After a quick chat online, these two decided to get into a permanent game of Where's Waldo tag. Reno's skills as a Turk versus whatever Gojo's talents are--since the guy hasn't divulged that yet.
W/L Counter: 0/1

G'raha Tia

{FF XIV}
afflatusexarch @ escordvi

Upcoming! Zack Fair's nekomimi boyfriend. Teasing aside, in the few interactions Reno has had with G'Raha, he finds the guy pleasant. A little bit nerdy, and one that easily goes off on excitable tangents for the simple joy of sharing information. He knows little about the guy past that, but being as close as he is to Zack, Reno is pretty lax and chummy with him.
