He likes to drink and is interested in technology. He is often caught reading manuals or guides on technology so he can learn more about how to fix/build them. He is very friendly and doesn't object to conversation with strangers. He's very strong but not very fast due to his size.
Background: Reiner was raised in a home full of criminals, and so growing up he was taught how to steal, lie, and cheat. Of course authorities took Reiner away from his parents and into foster care when his parents both got arrested for trying to rob a bank drunk. Reiner didn't do well in foster care scaring off lots of potential foster families with his criminal mindset and knack for taking electronics apart to see if he could figure out how they worked. He was often tossed from family to family and was often caught running away. When Reiner was old enough to be out on his own, he left the foster care system and tried to make it as a normal citizen. Life was rough in Reighs City though and he eventually stooped back to thievery to get by. After a while of getting a rap sheet, he couldn't hold a job or apartment on his own anymore and thievery became his survival. Eventually he met Striker and Ember. Ember had been getting jumped in an alley by a local gang and Striker was not around having left to go steal some food somewhere for them. Reiner of course took pity on Ember with her being so young and small and helped her out of the gang's grasp. Ember then told him about her brother was supposed to meet her back in that alley. Reiner told her to wait with him for a little while longer before they both went back to the alley to look for him. After Ember explained what happened to Striker, Striker attempted to thank Reiner with the little cash he had, but Reiner told him to keep it and asked if they needed a place to stay for the night. Striker and Reiner hit it off quickly that night of staying with each other in some run down building. After one day of knowing each other, they just sorta formed a silent pack with each other to protect and help each other out. Eventually more members were recruited and Reiner took under the name Strike Out member as the team became known to the citizens.
Other Facts:

However, it now takes a lot of pushing to get Reiner to this point.
*Reiner can not swim. He doesn't have a fear of water, unless it's above his head.
*Reiner is allergic to bees and wasps. If stung by one his throat will start to swell up and he will have to go to the hospital immediately or risk dying.
