Typically darker shades, of black, greys, blues, and reds. Anything that can handle extreme weather, and rough and tough outdoor work is Tarren's choice of 'comfort clothing'.

In and of themself, Tarren seems to be a walking paradox. While they seem to be walled off and guarded with most people, around those they trust and consider a friend, Tarren is more or less an open book. On one hand, Tarren seems easy enough to figure out, but on another, no one truly seems to understand exactly who Tarren is. At the best of times, they're often regarded as reserved and to themselves, at the worst of times, Tarren is often referred to as a grump and somewhat of an asshole. Not being afraid to bite back or call people out for their bullshit, barely without batting an eye.
Tarren seems to be able to stand up to just about anyone without even flinching, but also seems to crumble under pressure when people ever get loud or argumentative. Someone who can look at the worst humanity has to offer, and smile at it, but also awkwardly and clumsily shy away from any new person they come across. To say not many have been able to figure Tarren out, is a bit of an understatement.
But that isn't to say that Tarren is the worst person one could meet, far from it actually. Tarren is known to be one to fiercely fight for their friends and come to their defense with little time to react. Typically being seen as a guardian or protector type for others, usually those who can't speak up for themselves or those who come under fire from every day bullshit. Safe to say, if you want anyone in your corner, it'd be Tarren. While they can bite back and defend others from whatever comes their way, there is a slightly softer side to them that not many get to usually see.
Putting away the grumpy, angry outershell, Tarren is just like anyone else their age. Having a knack for an odd sense of humor, usually relying on playful banter and harmless insults aimed towards their friends. Down at the core, Tarren is a caring and protective soul. Whatever caused for them to become this way, is about anyone's guess, as they aren't exactly the most open type about their past or even really their family. But one thing is for certain, you want someone to come to your aid, while also calling you a dumbass? Then look no further than Tarren, as that's what they usually default to in the end.
Tarren is easily summed up as reserved, bit grumpy, but even more so, a true friend that you'd want by your side. Someone who will happily sit in silence with you, if it's just another person's presence that's needed. Or even being looked after and taken care of, Tarren does whatever they can to ensure their friends are okay, as by the end of the day, friends and family is the most important thing to them.

Much of their past hasn't really been much of a topic, as they mainly refuse to ever talk about it. But from what people have gathered about Tarren, is they had a seemingly normal enough child until they turned eight years old. That was when their father started to come home drunk more often than not, and the yelling and crying would be a sound they fell asleep or lied awake to for hours at night. Seeing as he was a former military man, who fell onto alcohol dependency as a coping mechanism for his PTSD. But those late night screaming matches, were something they often can't help but think on as they lie awake at night, the sound of glass breaking, things being thrown around from downstairs as their father yelled, telling their mother that she was useless and worthless. Something that Ren heard for much of their life up until when they turned fifteen. The years between then have become somewhat of a blur as of late. But what they do remember, were sleepless nights, and crying themselves to sleep at night as they didn't know what to do. Who to go to, or if they even had anyone to go to. Seeing as Tarren was never exactly the popular kid, and as such they didn't have many friends. And those they did have, didn't tend to stick around long enough.
Skip forward to when they entered high school, things had finally started to look up for them as their father was finally put away in jail for drunkenly beating his wife one night. Tarren had enough, and called the cops, and they took him away, hopefully for a long time. As they entered high school, they started to make some friends and truly experience life without having to worry so much. Tarren had met a small group of kids, outcasts as they were called. People like them that didn't exactly blend in with others.
Something they welcomed. It was that that Tarren had started to question who they were in more ways than one, that they remembered having a drunk conversation with their friend about everything. Their life, their past, and themselves. It was the next day that they decided to come out to their mother, not knowing what to expect. They were oddly relieved when she said that she had always known, and that she was there for them no matter what. It was only when they had started to date someone for a few months after they turned eight-teen that Tarren got news they never wanted to hear. Their mother was diagnosed with a rare medical condition, and after some time, it was determined that it was ALS.
Ren didn't know what to do as everything they knew was starting to fall apart. Their small group of friends was slowly falling seperating as they went off to university or let the country to study abroad, and their own relationship started to feel like they were walking on eggshells, and then the news about their mother. Tarren did everything they could to keep things as they were, to hopefully make their mother's life less painful and more barable.
But graduation was slowly approaching and they had to decide on what to do. They remembered receiving a letter to LindenWood, offering them an opportunity at their school as someone unknown at the time had sent in a good reference as they knew times were tough. Ren didn't know what to do, accept the opportunity to seek out not only a well paying job, as well as something they always wanted to do, due to their past, or stay at home with their mother who was slowly declining in health. Their mother gave her own advise, go to college, get that degree and job they always wanted and they could help their mother out that way. Find a life for themselves and be happy. And so they did, the best they could anyway.
It's been almost five years, and Tarren has since coming to LindenWood University, formed a small friend group, achieved surprisingly good grades, and a more than promised position as a Criminal Profiler, once upon graduation. Everything was starting to look up for Tarren, even with the occasional visits back home to visit their mother.
It was only after being told about and invited to the field trip in Egypt by their History Professor, who had offered to help them land on their feet if all went south after graduation at LindenWood, that Tarren had almost no other choice, but to accept the offer. This trip would not only grant them a better grade on this report, but also allow them to explore more of the world, and see places they've never been to. That was two weeks ago, and they've since arrived to Cairo, Egypt, with the small group of College co-eds, and Ren isn't sure what to expect...

Osteokinesis
Once Ren has become a host for Anubis, God of Death, they will take on the properties and abilities that come from him. The ability to manipulate bone. This power goes by many different names, such as bone control, bone manipulation, controlled bone growth and extra-skeletal manipulation. Tarren will have the ability to control, change and manipulate the bones of themselves and others (which takes a lot of practice and control to manipulate another living being's bones)
After becoming a Host for Anubis, Tarren will have the ability to produce their own bone growth, decay bone, pull the bone out of the skin and make them weaker or stronger. These are just a few of the incredible things that Tarren can do with this power. Much like Wolverine as an example, Tarren can force the bone in their knuckles to extend through the skin and can be used as weapons themselves at will. But they can easily break or be damaged with enough force.
They can also form and summon small to medium sized barriers, walls, and weapons made from bone. Either using their own, someone else's, or a random pile of bone to do so. While some is easier than others, like forming a spear or sword, or maybe even a small shield in comparison to say a barrier made of bone. While they can be quick and easy to summon and control, they are also very easy to break through and wear down over time. Not exactly making the best for long periods of time.
One important thing to note, is that if you have ever broken a bone before you know just how excruciating it can be. This does not change for Osteokinesis. If Ren chooses to break their own bones or another persons bones, the excruciating amount of pain that comes with it does not change. If Tarren does choose to break their own bones then their pain tolerance should be high as it is a very painful thing to go through.
Overall, it is an incredible power that can help in many different scenarios. It can be used for either good or bad, as Ren has the ability to heal bones or break them.
Teleportation
This one is simple and often doesn't need much explanation. The ability to move instantaneously from one location to another without physically occupying the space in between.
Tarren can teleport, or transfer matter (beings/objects, including themselves) or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. This can be achieved by various means, including causing the atoms/molecules to travel at light-speed, warping the space, or use quantum superposition, in which Tarren teleports by spatially rearranging the subatomic contents of a system.
While teleportation may seem like it is simply for travel, it can be a valuable ability as it can be used offensively (and quite powerful, as a spatial attack) while offering superiority regarding movement speed and distance coverage. Over time, Tarren can use it for many innovative manners. Following is a list of, but not limited to:

Coordinate Tethering: Lock-onto and allocate anything the user desires while transporting oneself or others, as long as they are in sight.
Empathic/Bonded Teleportation: Teleport to those that they have strong feelings for, especially if it's mutual, or one can teleport to those who have strong feelings towards them. As long as they are within less than a mile radius. But note, even then is pushing it.
Tactile Teleportation: Teleport anything/anyone away, strictly through skin to skin contact and has to be a skilled user to teleport more than just their self.
Offensive Means[/b]
Teleport objects into a target, causing telefrag, which can punch holes or bisect the target.
Teleport objects into another object, causing the object to displace the object teleported. (Using glass to cut a concrete pillar or metal sticks into a target's body.)
Teleport a target to Tarren, to intercept an incoming attack, defending themselves and causing the target's attempt to backfire at the same time.
Teleport anything small to around the target to immobilize the opponent.
Teleport a massive object above the target, letting it crash down to crush the target to death.
All of the affor-mentioned require more than a single use and require much concentration and their overall skills. But a constant use, and after prolonged periods, will often leave Ren light headed and drained of most of their energy. As well as a bloody nose if they choose to continue to push themselves more than they should. And at extreme times, can even cause fainting, or even possible death.
