Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Remy does not love his parents, nor do his parents love him. It all works out. This sort of thing is normal in their culture. In Remy's case particularly, his parents had to scold him often for doing things like smiling, sassing his tutors, laughing, spending time making friends with non-wizards and so on and so forth. The only time Remy showed the slightest bit of concern for them was just before he ordered their deaths.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
One brother and two sisters. The two sisters he hardly remembers even before the Jennifer + Books= Memory loss event but his brother Henri was a huge influence on him. Henri actually cared for him and treated him kindly unlike anyone in his family. When Henri died, Remy took it hard, but wizard culture being what it was, mourning for longer than a few days was discouraged and boys are not supposed to cry. Remy's nearly blocked his brother's murder from his mind and has not spoken of Henri for over a decade.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
He loves his cousin, Theo and treated Theo much like Henri treated him. He can't stand anyone else.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Lucas Landcaster is Remy's BFF. Lucas saved Remy from freezing to death on the mountainside and took him in. Lucas is a warlock, another magic user race who are persecuted by wizards (LOL REMY'S FAMILY). Lucas is sworn to kill any wizards trespassing in the forest he guards, but he spared Remy, feeling that something was odd about him. The two got along right away and Lucas was instrumental in coming up with Remy's disguise and also their guild/tavern/kill the wizards plan.
6. Does he have other close friends?
His boat friends! Zeke, Herz, Jak, Gideon, Kate, Vanyel etc. He'd like to be on that level again with Glaukir. The first time Glaukir was on board the ship, he damn near beat out Lucas for the BFF position
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
He enjoys and is good at making friends easily or at least getting people to like him.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Friends. Remy hates his blood relatives, and so he considers his friends to be family.

He was betrothed, but he didn't actually get married before he ran away.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Yes, with Vanyel who is the only person to ever tell Remy that they love him.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
First crush that he was aware of was Cassandra, a regular at his tavern and a member of his guild. They've banged a few times in the store room. His latest...well, he has and loves Vanyel so that's hardly a crush, so honestly? He still has a huge damn crush on Glaukir.
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
He looks for someone he can hold deep and meaningful conversations with, someone who will listen to him and comfort him, who knows exactly what to say to cheer him up. He needs someone he can be there for in return, and mostly what he wants is that feeling of being loved.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?

Leonardo, Erol and...yeah that's about it.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale? He is a 3 on the Kinsey scale. He's bisexual and fairly comfortable with it. He's not out nor in the closet and it's not something he'll deny, but will correct someone who calls him exclusively homosexual.
16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
Remy thinks sex is awesome. Sex is also warm, which is a big thing for him.
17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
Remy likes girls who can kick his ass. Men, not as much on the ass kicking, but he does like them to be masculine. He likes sex to be rough, grabbing, biting, maybe a little tying him up. His turn-offs include being interrupted, a cold breeze and people who don't like to cuddle afterward.
