Remmick

Remmick is a mass-murdering, ruthless and demonic vampire who has terrorized humanity for centuries. He is very manipulative; as vampires cannot be permitted to enter a room or a home unless they are explicitly invited in, he tries to trick and deceive his targets, succeeding time and again to various degrees. When traditional tricks don't work, he becomes very ruthless and confrontational, evidenced when he threatens to convert Grace's daughter Lisa into a vampire to lure her out. He seems to enjoy frightening people.

Ironically, Remmick is incredibly lonely and desperately longs to see his deceased family again. As part of his troupe, Remmick is committed to racial equality among vampires and has a disdain for the Ku Klux Klan, not just because they are racist, but because they historically targeted Irish immigrants and discriminated against them in the 1920s and 1930s. As a result, he does not have reservations with informing Smoke that Hogwood, the Grand Dragon of the local KKK chapter, is planning to murder everyone at Smoke's juke joint the next morning. Remmick genuinely believes that by turning everyone into vampires and creating a egalitarian community would eliminate any social prejudice such as racism, but his methods rely on forced assimilation and mass murder on the cultures he targets, making him no better than the men that stole his father’s lands.

Many centuries ago (possibly before the establishment of the Plantation of Ulster in the early 17th century), Remmick was part of a community in Ireland. However, his use of Modern English, his reaction to the Lord's Prayer being in English, and 17th century dress in the Sinners prologue, indicate he may come from Ireland immediately preceding the brutal Cromwellian invasion of Ireland, that massacred the Irish Catholic population, forced Protestantism upon them, and resulted in the theft of their lands. Remmick's community and it's traditions were suppressed. Following this, Remmick turned himself into a vampire through unknown means and proceeded to spend centuries wandering the world, looking to create a new everlasting community of fellowship in place of the one he's lost, turning people into monsters like himself in order to achieve that goal.

1911

Due to unknown reasons, the wreckage of the Celtic Hare, a ship carrying Irish immigrants, was discovered on a dock in Boston with no survivors except for Remmick, who was seen fleeing the scene by a lone woman. It was heavily implied that he murdered all the Irish immigrants in the Celtic Hare, and he escaped the crime scene to avoid being caught.

1932

21 years later, Remmick was persecuted by the local Choctaw community and ran into a house where Joan and Bert, a couple involved in the local KKK chapter, resided; desperate to escape the hunters and hide from the setting sun he already suffered severe burns from, he manipulated them into letting him hide with them. The Native Americans tried to warn the couple of Remmick’s true nature but they ignored them. After the sun sets, Remmick murders the couple and turns them into vampires.

He, alongside Joan and Bert, arrive at the Mississippi Delta where the twin brothers Smoke and Stack had recently opened a juke joint in an effort to earn some money and support their community. Whilst outside, Remmick is attracted to the brothers' cousin Sammie Moore, a musician who has the power to attract spirits from both past and future using his music.

Powers

Immortality: As a vampire, Remmick is immortal and immune to disease, age and almost unkillable. If his statement that the Lord's Prayer was forced upon his lips is interpreted as him being alive during the Christianisation of Ireland in 431 AD, he is at least 1,501 years old in 1932, the year when Sinners takes place. Even if he is referring to the English language and Protestantism being forced upon his country in later invasions, this still makes him at least 323 years old, far exceeding any natural human lifespan.

Fangs and Claws: As a vampire, Remmick possesses long razor sharp claws and fangs used to feed on his victims. His mouth presumably can stretch and reveal even more fangs.

Hive Mind: Remmick has a telepathic connection with all the vampires he has turned, functioning as a sort of hive mind. He shares all the memories, desires, emotions and sensations of him and his victims.

Possession: After he turns someone into a vampire, Remmick corrupts them, twisting their ideals to fit his own, as seen from how his vampire kin are notably bloodthirsty and sadistic. Despite this, this corruption also makes his victims accepting of each other, as seen from how Bert and Joan lose their bigoted beliefs upon becoming vampires, and they also tend to retain most of their original personalities.

Memory absorption: Remmick can absorb the memories of anyone he bites and turns into a Vampire, gaining all of the knowledge, abilities and lived experiences they had in their lives as Human Beings. Some examples include him being able to identify Cornbread after turning Mary, and being able to speak Taishanese after turning Bo Chow. This ability seems to extend to anyone Remmick has turned e.g. Stack was able to "see" Remmick's memories even though he was turned by Mary.

Spiritual Music Sense: Remmick was able to sense Sammie's Griot abilities while on his way to the Juke Joint with Joan & Bert. It is speculated that Remmick possibly sensed a Choctaw Firekeeper's abilities before being chased away by their Choctaw brethren. Remmick may have been a Fili when he was human, but the spiritual aspect was completely severed once he became a Vampire.

Supernatural Durability & Healing: Although vampires don't seem to heal at an extremely accelerated rate, they still had unnatural physical resistance and survivability far above a normal human being. Remmick survived a large silver disk from Sammie's guitar being embedded deep in his head and probably would have healed over time if he hadn't died.

Supernatural Strength: It is not completely known how physically strong Remmick is, though he is able to pick up people just by the neck and carry them/throw them across rooms or into other objects (as seen with Pearline).

Levitation: Remmick can leap across large distances and presumably levitate or fly to some degree.

Vampirism: Remmick can turn humans into vampires by infecting them through a bite.

Abilities

Expert Musician: Remmick is a talented singer, musician and dancer of Irish folk music. He is very skilled playing the banjo throughout the movie. It is implied that he used to be a Fili before becoming a vampire.

Master Manipulator: Remmick is incredibly charismatic and persuasive, able to effortlessly blend in and pass up for a human. He was able to trick Joan and Bert into inviting him into their home by feigning distress and appealing to their racist views after spotting their KKK robes inside their house, offering them gold knowing they would most likely want to take part of what he claimed the Choctaw had stolen from him.

𝓐 = 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 … what he’s like after sex

it depends. if you’re still human, he’ll be more attentive—wipes you down with a damp rag, presses a few idle kisses along your shoulder while you lay in his arms.

if you’ve been turned, the emotional barrier between you is much thinner, if not nonexistent. there’s silence, but not emptiness; the hive-mind makes pillow talk redundant. you both lie still, overstimulated and wired, thinking at each other. more often than not, you start fucking again. neither of you really need rest, and it’s easy to lose a few hours that way.

────────

𝓑 = 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 … his favorite body part of his & yours

he’s a thigh man. and an ass man. both. you could be walking past him and he’ll just land one playfully.

his own favourite part of himself is his hands: thick, calloused and skilled in many ways.

────────

𝓒 = 𝐂𝐔𝐌 . . . anything to do with cum, basically

remmick is so gross about it. drools for it, actually. blood is sustenance but your cum is indulgence. he’ll eat you out and stay down there after you’ve finished just to lap up the slick between your thighs.

────────

𝓓 = 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 … pretty self explanatory

he’s entertained the idea of letting you taking control—act mean and tell him what to do.

────────

𝓔 = 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 … how experienced is he? does he know what he’s doing?

centuries. there’s nothing you do that surprises him—except how much he likes you.

────────

𝓕 = 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 … this goes without saying

remmick loves hittin’ it from the back. he prefers it when you have your ass up while he works himself in—so that he can admire every ripple of flesh when he bottoms out or smacks your asscheek.

────────

𝓖 = 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐅𝐘 … is he more serious in the moment? or is he humorous? etc.

yes, actually. the foreplay gets kind of stupid sometimes.

he hums under his breath when he eats you out, and has this nasty little habit of nipping at your inner thigh just to hear you squeal in surprise. “whisht, sweet girl,”

but the minute he’s inside you, all the humour drains out and he’s dead serious. you go from laughing to screaming (in pleasure) in no time.

he seems to be the type of guy who talks to your pussy.

────────

𝓗 = 𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑 … how well groomed is he? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.

a full bush ! your combined cum always get smeared through the hair at the base.

────────

𝓘 = 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐘 … how is he during the moment? the romantic aspect

he’s kind of a hopeless romantic in his own right, albeit his lewd way of expressing it.

sex with him is so deeply instinctual, even the first time feels like a déjà vu. maybe it’s the way he worms into your thoughts and adjusts to what you like. or the way you start to want what he likes, whether you meant to or not. either way, it never feels unsatisfying.

────────

𝓙 = 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐎𝐅𝐅 … masturbation headcanon

when he jerks off, he thinks about the time you sat on his face. a lot. often licks his lips without meaning to, like he can still taste you. never quiet about it—low groans, timed just right so you’ll hear him. he wants your attention.

────────

𝓚 = 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 … one or more of his kinks

blood play, coercion, breeding, spitting, semi-public stuff : not exhibitionism exactly—just the risk of being caught.

────────

𝓛 = 𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 … favourite places to do the deed

anywhere. he’s not picky. up against trees. laid out on blankets in a field. once fucked you half-submerged in a creek because it was a hot summer night and you wouldn’t shut up about swimming.

────────

𝓜 = 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 … what turns him on

your blood. your body. your mind. he gets off on knowing you want it. hive mind gives you away, even if you’re shy.

also: boredom. he’s immortal, there’s not much else that keeps him entertained like you do.

────────

𝓝 = 𝐍𝐎 … something he wouldn’t do, turn offs

he’s open to almost anything (except for stuff that involves garlic or silver), but the idea of watching you with someone else? nope. he’s the jealous type.

────────

𝓞 = 𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐋 … preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.

remmick is a giver, first and foremost. obsessed with it. doesn’t simply enjoy it—he practically turned eating pussy into a form of art.

he likes receiving too, of course. has this habit where he keeps on hand wrapped loosely around your throat when you’re sucking him off. he’s very vocal and enthusiastic.

────────

𝓟 = 𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 … is he fast and rough? slow and sensual?

he can go fast and rough, especially if he’s hungry or pissed off—but what he truly prefers is slow and sensual.

────────

𝓠 = 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐄 … his opinions on quickies

happens more often than not. he can take you apart in under two minutes if he wants to—you never go long without it. there’s always a reason to pull you aside.

────────

𝓡 = 𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐊 … is he game to experimenting? does he take risks? etc.

yes ! you often have sex in semi-secluded spots.

────────

𝓢 = 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀 … how many rounds can he go for? how long does he last?

fucking endless. you’ve gone hours before. day into night, hips sore and thighs shaking. he lets you take breaks and drink some water, then gets hard the second you crawl back over him. if you’re human, he’ll hold back. but if you’re turned? that’s a different story.

────────

𝓣 = 𝐓𝐎𝐘𝐒 … does he own toys? does he use them? on you or himself?

he doesn’t own any toys; but he’s not too squeamish about it either.

────────

𝓤 = 𝐔𝐍𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑 … how much he likes to tease

he’s wildly unfair. if you’re turned, he’ll hijack your thoughts through the hive-mind, conjure up the most sordid fantasies and let that pulse into you at random.

kind of a sore loser. if you tease remmick, he’ll humour you in the beginning but soon gets impatient.

────────

𝓥 = 𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐄 … how loud he is, what sounds he makes

100% a grunter and a moaner. very loud, too.

────────

𝓦 = 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃 … a random headcanon

one night, remmick fucked you on top of a still-warm corpse—some white-robed klansman whose blood was still slick on remmick’s mouth. he was wild from feeding, pupils blown wide, and you’d never seen him like that—so feral, so desperate. it was the best sex you ever had.

────────

𝓧 = 𝐗-𝐑𝐀𝐘 … what’s going on under those clothes

in terms of length, he’s about 6.5 inches, but he’s got a thick girth — enough so that you can feel every vein and ridge. it’s a lot to take in, even when you’re used to it.

────────

𝓨 = 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 … how high is his sex drive?

unreasonably high. you don’t go a day without him getting his hands on you.

────────

𝓩 = 𝐙𝐙𝐙 … how quickly he falls asleep afterwards

no, he doesn’t fall asleep after sex. he’s a vampire—he doesn’t need sleep the way humans do, and even when he rests, it’s more like going still than truly drifting off. after sex, he usually stays awake next to you, watching.

Appearance: Physical Features

Hair: Dark brown or black, typical of his period-appropriate styling.

Eyes: Glaring, luminous red, which glow to mimic the reflective eye-shine of predators or animals

Build & Complexion: He has an unnaturally pale human complexion that shows severe smoking, blistering, and sun-burn damage when exposed to daylight.

Attire: Dressed as an early 20th-century traveler from his arrival in 1911, he notably wears a wedding ring on his hand, hinting at his long-lost human past and family.

Vampiric Alterations: When angered or feeding, his appearance twists with sharp fangs, claws, and a deeply disfigured, menacing expression
