Rem/LoreGive feedback
“

An accidental stowaway from the world of dreams, Rem has found himself stranded in the city that never sleeps. Driven by his curious nature, Rem and his helpful friends have been seen wandering across the five boroughs in search of a way back home.
So if you ever find yourself dozing off while taking the Blue line home from work, maybe you’ve just had an encounter with one of the Cursed Apple’s newest denizens.
Overview
Rem's motivation in the ritual is to find a way back to his home.[1][2]
Biography
As a creature from the dream world, Rem's exact species is unknown.[3][4] Most characters don't seem to know what Rem is, although Krill calls Rem a familiar.[5] Whatever Rem is, he molts.[6]
Rem is a child,[7][8] and exhibits childlike characteristics.[9][10] Rem can't read and doesn't understand what big words like "nuance" or "sarcastic" mean.[11][12][13] According to the Patrons, Rem has a family back home who misses him.[14]
Rem can see people's dreams when they're asleep. This allows him to learn information he wouldn't normally know, such as how to speak Ixian,[15] that Mo wants to audit a pottery class,[16][17] or Yamato's true name.[18]
Rem brought his lucky pillow to the ritual.[19]
Personality
As a child, Rem is curious and wondrous.[20][21] He's very blunt when talking about people,[22][23] and isn't interested in why other people are in the ritual if their reasoning is boring.[24] Rem hopes that his allies will become his friends for life and shows a lot of care for them.[25][26][27] Enemy heroes often think Rem is cute and feel bad about hurting him.[28]
Rem seems to be perpetually tired.[29][30] He feels lost and wants to go home,[31][32] partially so he can sleep some more.[33] Rem loves sleeping and claims to be the best at it.[34]
Rem calls the Lil Helpers his "friends" and gets them to do things he's too lazy to do.[35][36]
Rem often comments on what other characters smell like.[37][38][39] Rem thinks shoes are stupid.[40]
Appearance
Rem is a small biped furry creature with the proportions of a human toddler. His body is covered in black fur. He has a short beak for a mouth, large round glowing bluish-white eyes that lack irises and pupils, and long fluffy cat-like ears with blue canals that have a drifting star pattern. He has 4-fingered hands, 3-toed digitigrade paws, and a long thin leonine tail that has a thick tuft of black fur at the end. He wears a blue pyjama shirt and cone hat with lighter blue stripy markings on them, as well as pink, blue and purple square patches on the back of said jacket. He carries his blue lucky pillow and a golden pocket watch with a crescent moon pendant. His weapon is a bluish-green candle from which he shoots wispy projectiles.
The Lil Helpers are smaller spherical creatures who, like Rem, have black fur, big round white eyes, tall ears, and a cone hat. They have flat feet.
Rem's hybrid anatomy of bird and mammal resembles that of a wingless Griffin or Keythong in ancient mythology.
Information
Rem's name references Rapid Eye Movement, a unique and active phase of sleep in which most dreaming occurs.
