Appearance
Still as tan-skinned and buff as ever. No new tattoos or anything like that. However, in terms of hairstyle, I'd say a mix of his Fullbring Arc look and the 10 year timeskip. Meaning, a few strands of his hair are in braids. He is a dog Faunus and his trait is canine teeth.
Combat Attire: He wears a burgundy vest with golden outer edges and inner edges covered by a prominent trimming of rosy brown fur that appears similar to a feather boa over a short, dark blue top, leaving his muscular and tattooed midriff. He wears white trousers with a yellow belt and a magenta tie dye scarf tied to a belt loop. He also wears a tiger strip printed headband, tattered burgundy armbands, and shoes. Lastly, he has the goggles he wore during his introduction early in Bleach. His braids has some feathers. (When comes to the Soul Reaper characters, I plan on basing their combat attire to the spirit forms of their Zanpakuto)
Alternate Combat (Beast): A worn out rosy-brown leather jacket, a dark green shirt with the green design of a skeletal snake, light gray pants, and black boots.
Dance Outfit: A black suit, a light red shirt with the first few buttons undone, his hair is in a low braid, and he wears a dark bandanna around his forehead.
Training/Gym: A dark muscle shirt with gray shorts and dark shoes. His hair is held back with a black ribbon and a gray/dark gray tie-dye headband.
Uniform (Cold Weather): The only thing he'll ditch is the tie and vest. He'll leave his white dress shirt untucked and the first two buttons are undid and the blazer is left unbuttoned. He wears his headband.
Uniform (Hot Weather): He doesn't wear the blazer and neither the vest and tie. The white shirt is short-sleeved and untucked. He wears his headband.

Pajamas: All he wears is a pair of dark green sweatpants and his hair is braided.

Brief History
Only child of Kurenai and Raiden Abarai. Renji was born in Hound's How, a town close to the City of Vacuo. At the time, his father was a member of the White Fang and his mother was a WF supporter. Renji was taught the importance of equality and the wrongness of discrimination. When Renji was young, he found a dehydrated and wounded Rukia. He quickly took her to his parents, who manages to get her to a doctor. To his shock she has no memories except for her name. Rukia lives with Renji and his parents for five years until Rukia was adopted into the Kuchiki family.
About a year later, five years prior to the story, Raiden becomes paranoid and cruel to Kurenai and Renji. Due to the stress, Renji's Semblance was revealed and he accidentally killed his own father. Due to his age and mental state at the time, he was ordered by court to wear an ankle monitor. He still attended the combat school, but most of the students and some of the teachers treated him horribly, both humans and Faunus. He would have lost the chance to attend an Academy if not for the Kuchiki family, who became his and his mother's benefactors.
Weapon
Hihio and Zabimaru
Class: Skull Shield Whip Sword (SSWS)
Type: Ranged, Melee, Defensive
Weapon Derivation: Sword Whip, Shield
Zabimaru: Renji's sword. It resembles the form of Renji's new Bankai, having a gauntlet in the shape of a snakes head and having red tuffs of fur and the blade is like his Shikai with some Lightning Dust embedded within the wires of each section. There are some bone fragments in them too.
Hihio: Renji's shield. It resembles a Native American war shield with the face covered in dark moss colored fur. Attached at the bottom are a few feathers hanging from red beaded strings and placed in the fur is a baboon skull (the one that was on Renji's left side when in Bankai). The shield also acts as gun, the mouth of the skull can open and there is a trigger at the handle to shoot bullets and Fire Dust.

Semblance
Bone Manipulation
Renji uses his Semblance to control the bone fragments in his sword and the skull on his shield. He can also control Grimm bones. He refuses to control the bones of living beings.
Fighting Style
Renji is the second strongest in raw strength, just behind Ichigo, if not on the same level. With his shield, he'd guard him teammates and/or innocent civilians when they cannot protect themselves.
Faunus Abilites
As a Faunus, he has night vision and heightened senses.
Weaknesses
Similar to Ichigo, Renji is short-tempered and impulsive, though less so than the former, able to think more clearly than he can. He is also the slowest of his team
Attacks and Techniques
Higa Zekkou
Whenever his sword disconnects, either by accident or purposefully, he can use his Semblance to levitate the segments at will and attack. More used as a last resort.
Zaga Teppou
After trapping the enemy with his sword, by either stabbing or coiling, and then fire his shield.
Hikotsu Taihou
