Template:Before Crisis character
Rod (Male), real name chosen by player, is a playable male Turk in Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-. As his name implies, his chosen weapon is a telescoping baton argumented with Materia.
Appearance
With unkempt auburn hair, Rode (Male) wears the standard Turk uniform of black suit with black tie, white undershirt and brown boots.
Character
A cocky and headstrong ex-bike gang member, Rod (Male)'s arrogance due to constantly defeating anyone he came up against influenced his decision to attempt to steal from the Shinra Electric Power Company. However, he was quickly humbled with the arrival of the Turks, who stopped his attempt and showed him that he was not as strong as he had originally thought.
Now working as a Turk, Rod (Male) intends to become the best by working with the best; harboring aspirations of assuming leadership of the group one day.
Like Reno, Rod (Male)'s speech is very informal. Casually addressing everyone in the same crude way no matter their status, a habit that seems to irritate Gun (Female). Rod (male) is also something of an expert in the area of maintenance and repair of motorcycles and is also a skillled driver.
Story
Rod (Male) spent his time getting into turf wars with other gangs and running about on various stolen motorbikes. Made the leader of his gang at the age of 18, Rod (Male)'s towering self-confidence allowed the members of his gang to place full and complete trust in their young leader. Having come so far in his short life and never knowing the taste of defeat, he lived life with the certainty that nothing could possibly take him down. It was that sense of pride that prompted him to test out his skills by trying to steal a motorbike from the garage of the Shinra building.
In the fight that followed his attempt he was caught and arrested by Reno. Recognizing that his skills could be used to aid the Turks, Veld offered him a place in the organization as a Turk.
Equipment and Stats
Each Turk has a weapon particular to him or her. Weapon upgrades can be purchased using RP (Rank Points) gained from completing missions. Rod's weapons, a collection of telescoping batons, are similar to Reno's weapons of choice, however, while Rod's possesses a blue emblem on the baton's grip, Reno's possesses a red one.
It is possible to have the weapon attacks take on elemental attributes by slotting the appropriate Materia into the weapon.
