familiar yes, but executed nicely with a definite flair.&nbsp; Renga\u2019s not quite your typical bad ass.&nbsp; While he has an imposing body, his hunched, aged, and slightly hobbled&nbsp; appearance lends him a bit of intrigue and quirkiness.&nbsp; If you like what you see, take a second to check out the <a
