Ren Akatsuki

Ren Akatsuki, known as Silent Night Ren, is a member of the Blue Pegasus Guild and it's team, The Trimens.

Appearance
Ren is a slim young man of average height with dark, somehow spiky hair reaching down to his shoulders, with long strands framing his face, and a short ponytail on the back of his head. Each of his eyebrows juts upwards in a pair of thin spikes, and he’s distinguished by his dark skin, a result of Tanning Lacrima he used on himself. After the 7-years timeskip, the only differences in Ren’s appearance seem to reside in his hair, these being the lack of his former ponytail and the presence of two bangs framing and partially covering his face’s sides.

Ren’s attire consists of a black suit left open, bearing Blue Pegasus’ symbol on its left shoulder, over a leopard patterned shirt, whose similarly open collar reveals a small metal necklace circling his neck, and polished, dark dress shoes. Aside from the seeming lack of his guild’s symbol, Ren’s attire seems to have remained the same even after seven years from the destruction of Tenrou Island.

Personality
Like the rest of the Trimens, Ren behaves like a typical womaniser in that he usually charms up to any female (regardless of the age) he meets for the first time ever. If he is around a girl he always try to act like a tsundere, but in Lucy's case it wasn't very effective. He doesn't get along with other men, (except his team members) probably because he considering them as his rivals in love.

Oración Seis arc
Ren, along with Hibiki Lates and Eve Tearm, acts as a greeter to the other members of the Light Team, though the three of them are more womanizers than anything, instantly trying to woo over Lucy Heartfilia and Erza Scarlet (and later Wendy Marvell).

After briefing the others on who the Oración Seis are, the group (save Jura Neekis and Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki) take off to find them. Soon after, the Oración Seis found them, they are quickly beaten and nearly left for dead by the Oracion Seis, but at the last minute they are saved by Jura and healed by Ichiya afterwards. The alliance then regroups and splits up to find the Oración Seis's base and rescue Wendy and Happy who are both taken by Brain.

As Ren and Eve near the hideout, they run into Dark Unicorn, one of the dark guilds the Oración Seis allied themselves with, however unlike the Oración Seis the two were easily able to defeat them. When they saw Nirvana activated they split up, Eve continued searching for Wendy, meanwhile Ren set off to Nirvana. But before he reached his destination, Midnight finds him and easily defeats him.

Later he is seen together with Sherry Blendy on the Magic bomber Christina, using his Air Magic with Sherry' Doll Magic to manipulate the ship. However, the pressure is too much for her and she fails to hold herself on her legs. Sherry apologizes to Ren but he ignores her apologies and tells her that she should not push herself too much. Without Sherry's magic, Christina begins to fall to the ground.

After the Oracion Seis was defeated and Nirvana stopped, the Light team regroups in Cait Shelter Guild where they learn the secret of the guild. When the time has come for them to return to their respective guilds, Ren is seen asking Sherry if she won't be lonely on the trip (while blushing), while Sherry tells him that he should go (also blushing). The two then part ways and return to their respective guilds.

X791 arc
Ren, along with the rest of The Trimens, visit Fairy Tail to tell to inform them of the possibility that Tenrou Island may still exist.

During the Grand Magic Games, The Trimens, along with another member that looks like a rabbit, pass the preliminaries at fifth place. The team chooses to let Eve play for the first round of the games.
