Character Outline
Renton thinks his life is mundane and dreams of doing the extraordinary. At the beginning of the series, he becomes a member of Gekkostate in order to be near his idol, Holland, and his love at first sight, Eureka. In seasons one and two, the other crew members generally see Renton as Gekkostate's "busboy", doing chores such as cooking and cleaning. He occasionally rides with Eureka in the Nirvash typeZERO and is able to lift. The constant conflict with Holland makes Renton quit the Gekkostate and then bails out of the Gekko-Go (crew). He spends time on the ship of Charles and Ray Beams. He then leaves them after finding out shocking news from Charles on how their mission is to capture Eureka and the Nirvash: Type Zero. He returns to Gekkostate only to Warn them that they were walking into a trap and to protect Eureka at all cost. He then rejoins Gekkostate in the third season. In the third season, Renton is shown to mature a bit. Eureka and Renton continue to pilot the typeZERO, and his relationship with Eureka deepens, though the kids (Maurice, Maeter, and Linck) still refuse to regard Renton as their "papa". In season four Renton matures even further, coming into his own as a father to the kids and willing to sacrifice his own life to be able with Eureka forever.
Some time in the future (aproximatly seven to ten years), Renton and Eureka were conducting an experiment to see why Scub Coral was vanishing (using the Gekko as part of it). At this time, Eureka was pregnant with their daughter, and temporarily vanished into the past, where she met their future son. Some time after Eureka returned to the present, Renton was being hailed as genius for combining his knowledge of LFOs and Scub Coral, creating the new Nirvash that vanished with Eureka (pregnant with their son) once more.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or outline:
“There is no character, howsoever good and fine, but it can be destroyed by ridicule, howsoever poor and witless. Observe the ass, for instance: his character is about perfect, he is the choicest spirit among all the humbler animals, yet see what ridicule has brought him to. Instead of feeling complimented when we are called an ass, we are left in doubt.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The outline of the city became frantic in its effort to explain something that defied meaning. Power seemed to have outgrown its servitude and to have asserted its freedom. The cylinder had exploded, and thrown great masses of stone and steam against the sky.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
