No More Secrets Meme

Good evening meatship, I bring you your Friday meme!

No More Secrets

1. All of your character's darkest and most embarrassing secrets, the ones that they have been holding back from the crew, are now common knowledge.

2. Since not everyone knows everyone's canon, comment with your character and a bulleted list of the things they have been holding back from the crew. These can be funny things (that time I ran around with my underwear outside my pants), embarrassing things (Little Black Book-type secrets) or the dark things they never wanted anyone to know.

3. Other characters react to these sudden revelations about your character. Will it change the way people feel about each other?

IMPORTANT: PLEASE POST WARNINGS IN THE SUBJECT LINE IF SOMETHING IN THE COMMENT IS TRIGGERY. This meme has the potential to be a lot more dramatic than our usual fare, and I want to make sure everyone is comfortable.

Muns, have fun! Characters... well, I'm not sure "fun" applies.

-Ren became a Kamen Rider because Kanzaki Shiro sent a Mirror Monster to attack his fiancee, Eri. Kanzaki promised Ren that the only way to save her was to join the Rider battle and win the prize--a wish that could restore her life. Ren forged a contract with the Monster who attacked Eri, possibly out of some very dark sense of humor. He NEVER takes off his necklace with Eri's rings.

-Ren teamed up with Kanzaki's younger sister, Yui, to get an edge in the battle. He might have some romantic feelings toward her--he was certainly very protective of her--but he refused to act on them because of Eri. When Yui died, Ren was numb in shock, but he had to respect her wishes to die and break the cycle.

-The timeline has been restarted over and over to the brink of disaster, thanks to Kanzaki trying to rig the battle to save Yui. In one iteration, Ren's best friend was Kamen Rider Raia, Tezuka Miyuki, who used to date Eri before Ren. They disagreed over participating in the battle to save her, and when Tezuka died, Ren could only keep going for Eri. He met Kudo Shinji and disliked him, helping the other Riders try to kill him, but he had a change of heart and helped him. He died saving Shinji's life and passed over his deck to him, making him promise to save Eri.

-In another iteration more like the timeline Ren's from now, Yui committed suicide to derail her brother's plans, and Ren was completely devastated by her death. It was worse, with Shinji absorbed by his Mirror World twin, Ryuga no, he did not have a goatee. These were the only friends Ren ever really had.

-Ren has moments of deja vu about these other timelines, though no specific memories.

-Ren has added Phillip to the people he considers friends, since something about him just reminds him of Shinji. Only less loud and confrontational. The WITCH girls seem to take care of that part.

-While he generally comes off as an angstbucket and serious man, Ren is probably the most hopeful person on the ship, if only because he needs to be. The slimmest hope of saving his fiancee is the only thing that kept him going for two years, even when he was flatout told that he would never be allowed to win because Kanzaki had fixed the game. So he'll go along with whatever Stacy and the Daligig and Lensemen say, even if they're lying, because he has to believe that he'll be able to save her.
