Description
Renon was the shopkeeper and a boss in Castlevania 64, for Nintendo 64. He placed contracts in Dracula's castle for adventurers to find and read aloud to summon him, and then purchase various items he carried in his briefcase. The fine print in the contract, readable only by demons, specified that if an individual buyer spent a minimum of thirty thousand gold pieces on Renon's products, he or she had to pay a sort of fee for repeated service, which consisted of the adventurer's soul.

Looking at the big picture, he's an inconspicuous character in an inconspicuous game, and that is one of the many reasons I went to a convention last saturday dressed as him, and here's the picture. I cut away the whole background because it was a flowery garden, and didn't quite fit the character. I couldn't find the "costumes" place to put this deviation there, and since there was some photomanipulation involved, I think it's appropriate.

My girlfriend went dressed as Julia, the shopkeeper in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, and her brother went as Alucard, also from various Castlevania titles. I like to think that given a little time we could've come up with an imaginary adventure involving those three characters and a whole lot of haggling. Anyway, we didn't, don't know why I just thought of it. Maybe it wouldn't have been fun at all, come to think of it.

Anyway, I like dressing up for any and every reason. Plus, one person recognized the character, and that made me smile.
