There's not much to say about Ren, but I think you did a good job with what little you have to work with. And the plot section was hilarious.

Also, I'm interested in his lack of initative. His passiveness seem to extend to his relationships. He didn't seem interested or even aware of the Jaune/Pyrrha conflict, and in volume 1 he notes Jaune's absence without any kind of concern. I don't think he's a jerk who doesn't care about his friends by any means; he just doesn't see to have a need to get involved. He seems to let others handle their problems.
