Routine Rennari is the Blue Channel's heavy. He is half Apostolosian, a class traitor, and a former Kesh prince.
Appearance
Routine is built like a brick wall, "like if a prince elf was Piccolo".[1] He is big, buff, and tough.[2]
Personality
Routine has a soldier vibe. Despite that, his taste in film "displays his princely attributes." He smokes cigarettes and likes the rhythm of poetry, though he sometimes struggles to understand it.[2]
When it's Cori's turn for movie night, he tries to pitch her some art house horror films, insisting that the violence is a metaphor. He likes the composition in the romantic period drama she ultimately picks.[3]
History and Involvement
At some point during the five years leading up to PALISADE, Routine becomes a member of the Blue Channel's crew under Captain Kalvin Brnine.
He is too absorbed in reciting a sonnet that he's trying to understand to notice Zedd Z. Izzard sneaking through the Blue Channel after escaping from custody.[2]
He volunteers to accompany Brnine and Phrygian on their dangerous stealth mission in "An Impossible Ideal".[4]
Relationships
He is presumably related to Rosarium Rennari, who also featured as an NPC squad member in an Armour Astir game.
Trivia
- Routine is slowly turning into a Noah Baumbach character.[2]
