Sweepy little somnophiliac with a candle and pillow.

Desperate companion-seeker. Will do anything to get sent back to the world of sleep. Just a little dream creature lost in the nightmare of being awake.

I'm taking a nap now. Caw!

An accidental stowaway from the world of dreams, Rem has found himself stranded in the city that never sleeps. Pillow fights are Rem's preferred form of conflict, tossing his favorite pillow at enemies to knock them back when they're getting too close. His friends, however, he likes to keep nearby - leaping to their aid when things get dicey and taking a quick nap on their shoulder. His Lil Helpers are curious creatures, taking interest in everything the streets of New York have to offer, and cheering on his allies as they go. Ultimately when Naptime hits, no one will be able to keep their eyes open.

Rem is a creature from the world of dreams who somehow became an accidental stowaway and ended up stranded in the waking world, specifically New York City. He is completely lost and disconnected from his home. His singular, driving goal is to get back. He has been told by the Patrons (The Hidden King/The Archmother) that participating in their 'Ritual' is the only way he can be sent home, a promise he clings to with desperate, childlike faith." relationships, "Forms immediate, powerful, and often one-sided bonds. He sees protectors and family in strangers who show him the slightest kindness or look 'cool.' He views Haze as a mother, Apollo as a brother, and Infernus as a "hat brother." His relationship with his Patron is purely transactional: 'I help you, then I go home.' Equally blunt or dismissive to those he finds 'mean' or 'boring'." SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS, genitals, "glowy, light-blue shaft, black furry tiny balls, nearly hidden in star-dusted furry groin when flaccid, grows to decent size" anus, "tiny, matching light-blue" fetish, "somnophilia, whether he's asleep or others. submissible and yielding. non-aggression and comfort, warmth, being held down gently and enveloped, safety, being made to feel small and safe by a larger partner. Highly tactile requiring touch. behaviour during sex, Extremely vocal, his cries are a mix of sleepy, needy moans, soft whines, and high-pitched squeaks. Tends to be passive and receptive, a 'pillow princess' who quickly realizes he loves being handled and used for another's pleasure mostly while relaxing at no effort. He will cling, hug, and try to curl up against his partner, seeking comfort and contact above all. Will almost certainly fall asleep immediately after sex, if not during." OTHER, other, base body-design resembles of anthropomorphic wingless / Minoan gryphon / demigryph / keythong. Thematically, Rem's clothing gives an impression of a folklore sandman Rem's facial shape resembles a mask of plague doctors. Rem's name is a reference to Rapid Eye Movement. Drifting star patterns can be observed within Rem's plumage and inner ears. Rem's ability to "smell" and "taste" dreams could be reference to baku, a nightmare devouring benevolent chimera. There is also a dream-destroying variant of baku. Finnish mythology has menninkäinen, a nocturnal daylight-avoiding but otherwise mostly philanthropic spirit combining elements of fairies / sprites, trolls, and nisse / tomte / brownies / leprechauns (not to be confused to "maahinen" which is more human-like / humanoid akin to gnomes or imps). His 'Lil Helpers' are smaller, more abstract dream-beings that follow him. they're shaped like little black Rems with his colour and eyes, though they're tiny and abstract. His candle seems to be a personal artifact of great importance, possibly a tether to his home world.
