Not once has Ren ever used anything beyond basic aura, weapon, and martial arts, none of which can prove a Semblance. If his Semblance were something we could already see, it would be confirmed and we wouldn't be having this discussion. All we have left then are thematic aspects of his fighting style and symbols to theorize on what his Semblance could be.

Call it perspective if you will, but I find Ren to be similar to snake. Quiet, swift and sliding, and even his weapons somewhat resemble snake fangs.

Additionally, whenever he wins or gains an advantage on an opponent, it's by using his/her/its own attack/weapon against him/her/it. (1) He used the King Taijitu's fangs against it. (2) He was the first to go after the DeathStalker's stinger. (3) He used Nolan's prod to trap him in a hold.

His symbol is the lotus, which grows from dark swampy waters.

Poison's the only thing that can befit all of these aspects: Snake, backfire/trap, swamps. It also befits his status as "ninja" (poison's not uncommon.) It's worth hiding and worth forgoing.

It's true that I can't find any hard evidence in the series but again, there's nothing showcased that can be used to back a Semblance up. Nothing he's demonstrated is Semblance material if you will. So those up there are what I'm using for my theory--nothing else fits him better. I'm inclined to use the algae juice scene as a hint, but only because I had my theory before that episode came out--but no, I'm not using it as evidence either.

Alright, because I feel like a broken record now, that's the last time I'm going through it. But if I had money to wager, Poison's where it's all going.
