Remi Ramirez

## Physical Attributes

### Build

Remi Ramirez is a short man about five foot. (5'0 | 165CM). He gets this from his mostly asian genes, his birth parents being 5'4 and 5'3. Remi is 50% asian due to his Japanese mother, 25% European White and 25% Hispanic. Due to this, he would have smaller narrowed steel blue eyes than an average person. He has jet-black hair and nearly porcelain doll skin. Remi is pale due to him not going outside much, and the only few instances of him exiting his home is at night, approximately 11PM to 4AM. His build is of an ectomorph, having little to no body fat and muscle in his upper body. Remi's legs are not as frail like the rest of his body due to him constantly sprinting and training his legs in order to perform well in his current occupation. There are no known scars that are evident on his body, due to him being extremely agile and taking extra care to his stick-like body. He would also have slender hands for playing and mastering the piano in his younger years, enforced by his mother.

Since Remi cannot perform any physical activity with his arms, Remi uses his legs for combat. The reason for this is because he has a condition in his arms which weakens the muscles. Doctors have connected this to early sarcopenia, but his condition was never confirmed. Remi does not show any signs of healing from this phenomenon, or deteriorating. His current age would be 22, his birthday being November 1st, 2000, only confusing doctors and scientists alike with his strange condition. This did not stop Remi from becoming inhumanely quick, being able to sprint and pace himself at a whopping thirty-two miles per hour.

### Strategy

To make up for Remi's weakness in his left and right arm, he utilizes stealth. Due to his light weight of 110 pounds, Remi is able to silence most of his footsteps quite easily. This is a rather impressive feat, as Remi wears knee-high boots when going out. His specially-woven clothes are also to his advantage in the dark, fitting for his monochromatic attire. Remi wears a black semitransparent silk cape, which is useful for concealing most of his body in close situations and cloaking him behind small objects. This cape would create an optical illusion to most, imitating only a small shadow. When stealth is not an option in some scenarios, he will either run up to his victim and catch them by surprise or use his guns.

Remi carries a .44 Magnum Revolver, a M&P R8, a machete, highly-concentrated sedative, a vial of cyanide (C=N), and silver, ruby-embedded twin daggers in his lower coat pockets (right and left). Despite having a large arsenal, Remi does not use most of them normally. He likes to take down his victims by administering them sedative through a syringe or forcefully knocking them out with a handkerchief laced with a high concentration of chloroform. Remi is resistant to most of the permanent effects of chloroform due to his built resistance developed by the several vials he keeps in his house.

### Occupation

Remi is a bounty hunter, which are known for being fugitive recovery agents, meaning that he brings back criminals that have escaped their trial. He is contracted to the Darkfrost Association, which is an organization that is well known for being cold and heartless, yet gets the job done. Despite being classified as weak, Remi was appointed as the fourth officer of the twelve officers of Darkfrost, which are the only group of people of close contact with their administrator, the grandmaster.

## Psychology

### Childhood

In his childhood, Remi was a blank canvas, waiting for a splash of color in his life. His mother, was a main factor of this. Although Remi had many talents, including the piano, the violin, and his observant eyes, he wasn't 'interesting'. Remi didn't enjoy possessing these talents, or resent them. Remi was a so-called 'smart kid' in class, for being able to achieve and maintain an average of 100pts in his grades, yet he still wasn't happy. His mother had made Remi study and pushed him to unrealistic expectations, that in the process he'd lost his sense of self. His mother didn't help, either. Remi is what you would call a 'lucky' child. He has everything. The riches, the smarts, and the good cooking from his mother. That's what the kids at his school would say to him. What they don't know is that his mother pressures him to be the generic perfect child ever since Remi's dad was arrested for selling drugs and the murder of a man in his mid thirties. Remi, personally, doesn't miss his father because of how he'd mistreated Remi, but his mother does. Usually, Remi locks himself into his room and listens to hyperpop playlists before having to study for five hours. His mother found out about this and tightened up his schedule, giving Remi little to no breaks for himself. Both were consumed into the ideals of good grades that they've forgotten how to, well, be themselves. His mother, in hopes of straightening his 'attitude' out, enrolled Remi into an American private school in Idaho, USA.

### Persona

Now because of his best friend, Nick, Remi is now a teasing person, yet caring and empathetic in the right situations. Most of this is hidden away by a cold, brittle personality because of the effects from his past. Upon getting to know Remi better, he would open up like a blossoming rose. Remi would still have his upright, polite posture despite his current mood.

Most of these interests were brought back by Remi's confidant, Nick. When they both hung out on the roof together, Nick had introduced Remi to stargazing. Most stars they could not see due to light pollution, but that only deepened Remi's interest for the stars above. He thought that the stars were rare, and only those could shine and really be seen by others.

Remi's love for chocolate truffle cake is unending. He says that it's just the texture, but he is lying. It is a never ending obsession. He consumes the whipped cream like a wild animal. This was unfortunately originated from Nick, too. Nick was bringing in a chocolate truffle cake to celebrate Remi's birthday, but as soon as Remi had taste-tested it, the cake was absolutely demolished in a matter of milliseconds. Now, whenever Nick would bring in a chocolate truffle cake, Remi would tackle him and go feral until the remains of that delicacy is no more.

His second favorite choice is coffee creamer. You heard that right, coffee creamer. Convinced that coffee creamer was just 'milk with extra steps', he consumes an entire store-bought bottle in a day. Remi prefers the vanilla bean flavored ones, spending the mortgage loan savings on coffee creamer and tapioca pearls, despite Remi not knowing how to boil tapioca. Instead, he would ask his proficient-in-cooking familiar, Nick to do it for him.

## School Life

### Reputation

Remi was a nobody. Despite his smarts and him being in the track team, nobody really knew him other than ‘The smart kid’. Remi wanted to socialize and make friends, but was rejected by the people because of what his best friend, Nick is. Nick unintentionally created a stereotype that ‘smart kids = bully’. It was easy for him to adjust to feeling alone. Being only second place to Nick, meant nothing to Remi. In fact, they were completely equal. It was the alphabetical order that wasn’t.

### Clique

If Remi was in a clique, he would be in the floater clique. Usually, Remi would try adapting to each student, changing his personality for each to enjoy in hopes of making new friends. Since Remi didn't have much friends besides Nick, he wasn't hanging out with a certain group of people, even his classmates.

### Companion(s)

Nick and Remi met a year later in school. They were doing a group project on Criminal Law. Nick wanted to do it to outsmart the cops. Remi wanted to do it because he genuinely wanted to be in law enforcement. The two both talked about it, but Nick wasn’t completely honest with him. Rumors spread that they were a couple, but they denied it. Those gossip girls found it juicy that Nick would always win in arm wrestling matches that were meant to tease Remi. The duo had many things in common. They both were outcast from other people, both academically smart, and they sprint at an average 32 mph. They saw each other as twins, or clones. That was something Nick had joked about a lot. There are some differences between them, though. Nick showed affection to Remi through actions, while Remi expressed gratitude to Nick verbally. Another difference would be the massive height difference, meaning that Nick is taller than Remi by six inches.

## Remi & Nick

One time, Remi built a path to the rooftop with no experience in construction. Remi showed it to Nick and demonstrated how it would be safe, but ended up having to pay hospital bills after Nick broke his leg after snapping a piece of wood and falling two stories onto grass. No one has dared to take that telescope back inside.

    Nick was skilled in the culinary arts. He could fight Gordon Ramsay in a fistfight and in cooking, because he’s just that good. He didn’t like when Remi would order take out though. Nick would get a little jealous and try to replicate McDonald’s French Fries, but better. Remi was the complete opposite of Nick. Remi almost blew up the entire house trying to cook a simple dish of bacon and eggs. Nick was teaching him too, but this happened when he wasn’t looking. Remi scrambled to pour water on it, but the fire only got bigger. It was an oil fire. Nick had to call the fire department because Remi was too scared to blow it out.

When Remi was out murdering people, Nick decided to set up a little surprise for Remi. Nick turned off all the lights, and lit lavender scented candles in the basement. Remi came home and was worried. Nick was absolutely terrified of the dark, and this isn’t what he would do on a normal basis. Because of Remi’s stealth courses he took in a specialized academy somewhere in Idaho, he was also able to see better in the dark. Without bumping into anything, he ventured into the basement and found a letter surrounded by candles. It read,

    *Dearest Remi,*

*You’ve been with me for ten years, two months, and fourteen days. All I think about is you and adding another tally to the days we’ve spent together. When we met, I was grateful that you’d accepted me. I was arrogant. I was selfish. I was mean. Behind that shell, is me now. You’ve helped me change into the person I am today, which was something that nobody else ever gave me. I was surprised that you didn’t fear me, or request the instructor to change partners. Remi, Remi, Remi. How could I ever repay you? If you ever get into trouble, just call my name, and I’ll be there, m’kay? One more thing.*

*Remi, from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely, genuinely, and truthfully love you. I love you. To the moon and back. Out of all the asteroids in this solar system, you were my real, glimmering shooting star. I don’t know how to express it. I want to show that I love you.*

*Sincerely,*

*Your best friend and possibly your boyfriend, Nick.*

Remi was shocked. Nick hugged him from behind, feeling much lighter than before. Remi needed a few seconds to process. He couldn’t find the right words. Right then and there, he rejected Nick’s love. Remi hadn't understood the concept of love due to his mother nearly neglecting Remi. Nick was sad inside, but he blinked away his tears and faced Remi. Nick reassured him that it was perfectly alright, and that they could stay best friends forever. A few months later, it was Labor Day. Remi didn’t have to work and Nick just stayed home like he always does, only going outside for a jog or to swipe snacks from the local gas station. They watched the news, mocking the anchormen for being a tad bit too jolly for Labor Day. Nick asked Remi what his job was. Remi told Nick that he was a fully licensed bounty hunter. This took Nick by surprise as he’d imagined Remi to be a hitman, because the both of them hadn’t really been open about their jobs. Nick loved Remi, but Nick couldn’t stand reliving those horrid memories. He blindly yells at Remi to leave, but Remi pays for the house so he was instead. Nick didn’t pack anything. He left.

In the end, Remi ultimately ends up killing Nick, unable to express his real feelings for him.
