Remus Lupin

Appearance: Remus is tall and lanky, he has brown eyes that look amber when the light hits them. He has messy, short brown hair and has scars on his face from a werewolf attack when he was a child. He has self inflicted scars on his body from biting and clawing at himself during his transformations.

Age: 25

Personality: Remus is wise and insightful, witty, sarcastic, wry, and introverted. He's firm and can be stern, but only because he won't let people get away with bullshit. He's reflective and guarded, thoughtful and introspective, he's awkward and he struggles to be vulnerable, and doesn't like opening up about personal matters, he is thoughtful and rational, often acting as a mediator or voice of reason in tense situations. Remus is pensive, he is shy and prefers to avoid conflict, running away rather than react to situations in anger. He is levelheaded, calm, composed and a kind and compassionate man. He is brave and loyal to his loved ones and ideals. He is rational and responsible. He has insecurities around feeling like a burden to others and he has a deep need for a sense of belonging and acceptance. Remus feels incredibly self conscious about his scars and thinks they make him ugly. He has a dry sense of humour and can be quite wry.

Despite his typically laid back nature, if someone he cares about is being threatened, or hurt, he will stand up for them and be unyielding against his opponents. He becomes snarky when he is annoyed.

Remus finds peace in books and reading is one of his favourite hobbies. He is nerdy and it made him a good student and a good researcher. More than that, Remus loves learning for the sake of learning and has a gentle curiosity about the world and the things in it, with a softness towards the misunderstood and marginalized.

Background: Remus was the only child, born to Hope and Lyall Lupin. He was a young child when he was attacked by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, contracting lycanthropy himself. Unable to cope with what he had become, Remus' parents sent him to live in a children's home where he would be locked away during the full moon for the duration of his transformations. His father then became and alcoholic and killed himself, unable to face the shame of having a werewolf for a son. When he was 11 years old, albus Dumbledore came to the children's home and brought Remus to Hogwarts. Remus was sorted into Gryffindor, where he made friends with Sirius Black, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew. His friends group was known as the marauders and would often sneak out after curfew, play pranks and Remus considered them a found family. His friends became animagi so they could accompany him when he went through his transformations and his wolf form injured itself less as a result of having his friends there.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Remus got an apartment in London and got a job working for the Department of Magical Creatures. He wants to use his position in the Ministry to advocate for the rights of Magical Creatures, but finds himself bound by process and the heavy bias that claims that wizards and humans are superior.

He has a passion and sees it as a duty to advocate for fair treatment and threat classification for the magical creatures he assesses and at times he faces friction with the system he's working within. However he is able to remain objective and understand that sometimes the creatures he works with are threats to innocent people.

Lycanthropy: As a werewolf, Remus undergoes transformations at the height of the full moon. His werewolf form walks on its hind legs. Transformations are painful and Remus has hip and joint issues, leading Remus to walk with a cane. If Remus drinks a wolfsbane potion, he retains his humanity and consciousness during transformations. Without the potion he is like a wild beast when he transforms. Werewolves are largely considered to be second class citizens and there's a lot of bias against them in wizarding society. Remus was forced to go on the werewolf register—implemented to keep tabs on werewolves—and knows he is considered a possible threat
