Ron

Ron (ロン, Ron) is the deuteragonist of Black★Rock Shooter: Innocent Soul.

Appearance
Ron's first known form is that of a black snake-like creature with ridge-like features protruding on the back, no discernible eyes, and a white line that runs along each side of the body. Rock can transform Ron into different kinds of weapons in combat, with cannon and sword being the most common forms, but other forms are also possible, such as a baseball bat.

When Rock imagines Ron in her desired form, Ron takes form of a young handsome man wearing a black long coat with a hood reminiscent of their snake-like form's head.

Personality
Ron seems fond enough of his partner, Rock, and has a very intimate relationship with her, even seemingly having romantic feelings towards her. This is shown when he does not want to replace Rock with a new partner despite her instability or when he willingly used his body to protect Rock from Ram's attack. He can be quite a joker but he gets serious at the right time. He is not above using foul language, especially when his frustration mounts.

He appears to have a good battle sense and knows when to stand down or attack as the situation calls. He sometimes warns Rock of danger or imminent attacks which she cannot detect.

History
Little is known about Ron's past. Their model designation is 04220010. Nico and Ron are acquainted for some time before Ron is partnered with Rock as the latest Black Star.

Trivia

 * Despite the snake-like appearance, Ron's motif is a dragon, which is explained on the author's Year of the Dragon New Year card artwork Pixiv entry in 2012.
