- Transmasc. Rem transitioned in his teens.

- Parents: April Barks (Alive) & Jeremy Woods (Deceased)
- Siblings: 2 younger half-siblings

- His mother attended a party in the woods of Sunset Falls during a full moon. She sort of killed and ate his father, whoops.
- When he was born, she sought out a means to seal the wolf. Though hers couldn't be sealed as she was cursed, Rem's could as it was a new soul and lacked strength. As a result though, Rem displayed traditional signs of lycanthrophy - thicker body hair, pointed ears, sharp teeth, and a keen sense of smell.
- Rem grew up handling his mother's lycanthrophy, keeping it a secret and doing his best to help her through it. His mother's wolf recognized him as a wolf and as pack. She was never aggressive towards him.
- However, one full moon when Rem was fourteen his mother escaped the basement. Rem spent half the night tracking her, and eventually found her fighting another werewolf. When Rem tried to get between them, his mother attacked him in her heightened state of agitation. The fight left significant scarring.
- Rem knew his mother didn't mean to, though it made him see the wolf in a new light. He'd never known he had to fear it before and now he knew only too well. April never forgave herself.
- She began drinking wolfsbane tea to suppress the wolf. This tea made her groggy and fatigued.
- His mother eventually began seeing another man and it seemed like a good, stable relationship, until her boyfriend disappeared as people so often do in Sunset Falls.

- Hit a punk phase in highschool and never left it.
- Graduated with honors in highschool, fully intenting to take off to Portland and never come back. Unfortunately with the disappearance of his stepfather he ended up staying. His siblings and mother needed him.
- Aimless. Half-heartedly studying to be a tattoo artist. Also studying magecraft because that's the best way to stay alive in town.

Powers —

Skills:
Superpowers: Lycanthropy. In this case, a natural born werewolf from a cursed werewolf.

Rem's wolf is its own entity inside of him. Though he's capable of transforming into a full wolf form and maintaining his sense of consciousness (with difficulty) he cannot transform into the traditional werewolf form and keep his wits about him.

- Enhanced Strength
- Healing Factor
- Shapeshift to wolf form at will
- Uncontrolled transformation during the full moon
- Infectious Bite during full curse

Rem transformed once and only once prior to the confluence, when he was an infant. After that his mother immediate sought help from the Guilds to have her child's wolf sealed, as an infant werewolf was too much for an exhausted (and cursed herself) single mother to handle. The wolf was put into a dormant state.

Unlike cursed werewolves, natural werewolves have far more control and are able to gain control over their wolf form as its part of them. As this didn't happen, there's a disconnect between Rem's wolf side and his human self. The wolf is essentially a puppy and hasn't really integrated with Rem himself.

Magic.

- A junior spellcaster.

Limitations: All the regular werewolf weaknesses. Rem is weak to silver and can't cross running water when in wolf form.
Personality —


- Kind of a dick. Rem grew up keeping people at arm's length - even if Sunset Falls is weird, having a werewolf mother meant that he couldn't let people get too close for their own safety.
- Aimless. Sunset Falls feels like a tar pit that he can't escape from.
- Loyal. He's a wolf at heart and so he's incredibly loyal to anyone he deems to be pack.
- Prone to emotional outbursts. Rem bottles his feelings up until they explode.
