This journal is linked at the top right of my page if anyone is ever in need of it.

From here on out, I will be using this as a repository for my grem references, bios, pairings, and general information! I'll keep it updated as needed, so you can generally expect all the info to be current. Previews of WIP grems can be found at the bottom. 

These are listed loosely in order of preference in terms of my desire for art and activity. If you wish
to draw my grems for any reason, feel free! You don't need permission~

Yael 

Pronunciation: YALE or YAY-ill
PronounsMale
Personality: Cold, erratic, manipulative, insatiable, apathetic, opportunistic.
Paired with: Xi (future)
Other relationships: Business associate to Moss and Chae.
Tidbits:
-Part of a small group of contract killers under the leadership of a stone-faced mantagrem named Moss, Yael is considered even amongst his associates to be dangerous. He is often described as being a loose canon, and frequently needs to be reined in when on jobs due to his excessiveness, often balking at being curbed when working. 
-Seemingly without a conscience, Yael asks no questions and harbors no visible curiosity about his targets. He is pitiless in his work to the point of it being enjoyable for him, leading to needlessly sloppy work in terms of unnecessary casualties and excessive violence.
-Despite the leadership of Moss, Yael recognizes no authority. Moss' control over him is tenuous at best.

Tidbits:
-Insufferable thief. Has been known to rob banks, trains, caravans, and just about anything else carrying valuables or goods he desires.

-Rumors around town say that the old sheriff once had him tied to a post in the middle of town and savagely whipped before leaving him there to die. They say it was 5 days before anyone had the nerve to free him.
-He will be the first to tell you that particular story is "bullshit".

Rook 

Pronouns: Male
Personality: Unstable, erratic, unintentionally destructive (often to himself), well-meaning but dangerous.
Paired with: Single
Other relationshipscoming soon
Full Bio: During his life, Rook was a skilled engineer working in a renowned research and development facility on the outskirts of a large city. He was commissioned and trained along with several other grems by the facility itself, and routinely participated in on-site tests for spacial warp technology. During one these tests, a catastrophic failure in the system caused an unexpected and devastating anomaly in the space within the testing facility, killing everyone within its area of effect. This anomaly had destructive effects on the building itself as well, causing the inner structure to collapse and making the recovery of bodies and any subsequent investigation of the catastrophe near impossible. Several researchers were not found, though there were later reports of remains that matched their dental records being inexplicably discovered miles from the site. Rook's remains, however, were never found at all.
Current: ???̕?̢?̶͚̰͜?̀?̹̞͓ͅ?̠̺̭
Additional info: Cypherus Grem. This individual has the power to generate and manipulate wormholes that enable him to jump between locations at will.

"The Lotus" (real name unknown)

Pronunciation: LOW-tuss
Pronouns: Male
Personality: Committed, righteous, incorruptible, self-sacrificing, good-hearted.
Paired with: Avis (belongs to TornTethers)
Other relationships: Friends with SeymourTuuga
Full Bio: "The Lotus" is a name known well within the circles that inhabit the underbelly of the cities. A feral beast of a grem, known for his brutality but even moreso for his discipline, Lotus holds one of the highest rankings among the illegal fighting pits, and the lowest fatality rate. Grem owners within the regular pits train their grems to fight until the opponent is unconscious or unable to fight back, at which point the winner is announced and the fight ends, leaving the defeated to be treated and brought back to fighting condition. Unfortunately, addrenaline and bloodlust are forces that grems within the pits find difficult to control, and death is no stranger to the pits. If death occurs inside the ring, the owner of the killing grem will owe a debt to the owner of the deceased grem to compensate for the lost asset. Usually, fighting grems with high death tolls bring in so much money each match that the owner can pay it off without much trouble, but the loss is enough that the offending grem is usually beaten badly for it. It's generally desired that your grem does not kill within the pits, exceptions applying to the death pits, a place that haunts the dreams of even the most hardened pit grems.

The Lotus, highly trained and disciplined in his fights, leaves no bodies. His skill at leaving his opponents a thread from death but still alive ensures his owner only profits from his matches, never paying death tolls to his opponents, a talent highly coveted by other owners. Over time, this level of obedience granted him a measure of freedom with his owner, having mostly free reign when not training or attending fights. This enables him to freely meet with other grems outside the darker corners of the city. Grems with watchful eyes and ominous masks.

The Black Kites. It was within this secretive group that Lotus once found his home. His family.

Rescued by their organization from an abusive and neglectful owner in the early years of his life, Lotus never stopped feeling as though he owed them a debt, that he owed them his life. He committed himself to their cause wholeheartedly, and made sacrifices for their mission that few could compete with, but none were so dangerous as his plan to infiltrate the fighting pits. Despite all the good that the Kites did, and all the grems that they saved, Lotus never accepted their reluctance or outright refusal to run rescue operations for the barbaric fighting groups that infected the cities. Dozens of grems were torn from their homes to be mutilated and forced into vicious fights where they were further maimed and mentally broken down to husks or worse. Some were even so badly manipulated that they learned to take to it, and became a part of the disease themselves. It was these grems that needed their help more than anyone, but The Black Kites deemed the risk too high. They told him that they would lose more lives than they'd save, and perhaps they were right. It was then that "The Lotus" was born, and he began his mission to infiltrate the fighting pits, allowing himself to be captured by their recruiters. His new life in Hell began, and he vowed to carry out his mission without taking a single life.

Nestor (Nes) #904

Pronunciation: NEST-er
Pronouns: Male
Personality: Reserved, intense and rather intimidating. His enormous frame and general too-serious attitude are often enough to keep anyone from trying to be friendly with him during this time, but those who try anyway will be met with clipped and unsmiling responses. When off-duty, this personality softens somewhat but the overall sternness remains. Loyal to a fault in all situations.

Seymour

Pronunciation: SEE-more
Pronouns: No preference. Male is most often assumed and used.
Personality: Nurturing, gentle, protective, kind, soft spoken, patient. 
Paired with: Simon
Other relationships: Close friends with Tuuga, Lotus
Full Bio: Seymour was originally commissioned to be a therapy grem and personal caregiver for a war veteran who suffered from several persistent physical injuries as well as severe PTSD. He lived alone with the man for 3 years in peace and happiness, becoming close with his owner and providing care and comfort for the man before he suddenly passed away from an unforeseen medical complication, leaving Seymour alone and without a purpose. Thankfully, the man had cared for Seymour dearly, and despite living in an area not under the humane grem law, he'd had the foresight to sign off for Seymour's freedom in the event of his death, leaving him his small fortune and paving a road for his grem to live free after his passing. 

Grieving the loss of his companion, Seymour left the town and traveled to a city that would allow him to live in peace and find his own way. Having come from a place where grems were not protected by law, he had seen things that sometimes kept him up at night. Abuse and neglect from owners who treated his kind as property, a behavior that his owner had shown visible disgust for as well, and more than once had stepped in to stop. He had taught Seymour to see humans and grems as equal, and did what he could despite his limited abilities to stop the abuse that he witnessed. Seymour took this memory with him, letting it fuel his lingering desire to help others, an instinct that he couldn't shake after the loss of his owner.

Some time into his new life in the city, having enough money to live his life comfortably without additional income, Seymour discovered the Dark Kites through a friend he had met shortly after moving in. After many months of secretive communications, he enlisted in their cause under the condition that he would never be forced to join missions in which people or grems could be harmed. He lended his considerable medical skills to their cause, a service he soon found was sorely needed. Rescue operations frequently went sideways, leading to severely injured rescues, some near death by the time they reached him. His gentle disposition was a much needed comfort to frightened and displaced grems, and he soon made himself valuable within the community, both as an ambassador for new arrivals and relocation operations, and as a skilled medical hand for injuries to both rescued grems and injured members.

When not assisting within the community, he spends a great deal of time alone on the outskirts of the group, reflecting and trying to find peace in a world that has little to offer its inhabitants. Otherwise, he can be found spending time with those he cares most for. He is close with Tuuga, being one of very few individuals who are aware of his troubled past.

Literature:
The Price of a CauseSeymour let the sunlight blind him through the canopy as he laid back against the split in the tree, shadows spidering over his face as the branches swayed above him. This was, as far as he was able to find, the most peaceful place in the colony. He didn't dislike the company of the Dark Kites, but he found that over time, the weight of their grim business crept into his heart, and he had to step back and let it leach away. When that weight began to pull him down, he came here. Halfway up the elderly tree, the trunk split suddenly into many sprawling branches, leaving a small nook where he could retreat that was not visible from the ground. He could detach from the world here, when he needed to.
Was someone shouting?
Lifting himself onto his elbows, Seymour craned his head through the split in the branches, narrowing his ringed eyes at the movement in the distance. Past the safe house, a vehicle was racing toward the entrance, someone hanging out the window and frantically yelling some

Paired withKolsten
Other relationshipscoming soon
Full Biocoming soon
Additional info: Cypherus Grem. This individual has a coat that changes with the moon cycles, causing his appearance to vary. Pupils take the shape of the current moon phase. During a full moon or spells of rage or strong emotion, he will shift into his feral form (which is much larger than an average grem). During this time, extreme caution should be exercised. He will often attempt to kill and consume any living creature in his sights, preferring other grems above all else. In this form, the markings across his arms and back will lift from his body, forming a luminous "crown" or "halo" around his head, as shown.

Tuuga

Pronunciation: TOO-guh
Pronouns: Male
Personality: Outgoing, boisterous, social. Harbors a horrific past in the grem-fighting pits and seeks loud places and company to drown out the ghosts that haunt him.
Paired withSanna
Other relationships: Friends with Seymour, Titan, Rose, Lotus
Full BioTuuga is a rescued/retired fighting grem, meaning he was confiscated from an owner who participated in grem fighting much in the way you would expect people to fight dogs. Due to this unpleasant past, Tuuga has both ears docked as well as his tail. He also has numerous scars on his body and face, and is missing a toe.

Despite his nightmarish past, Tuuga embraces life with gusto. He can often be found in bars regaling patrons with absurd and outlandish tales about how he obtained his numerous scars through heroic adventure, all of which are of course elaborate lies. Tuuga really likes attention.

Additional info: Retired fighting grem. Tuuga was rescued by an unknown organization from the grem fighting pits.

Artemos #873

Pronunciation: ARE temos
Pronouns: Male
Personality: Grumpy, cynical, generally exasperated by... everything. Also fiercely loyal and protective over his own, despite his own grouchiness over them.
Paired withSorin
Other relationships: Friends with Banke
Full BioArtemos is an Eskigrem (can transform between grem and husky forms) who was originally commissioned for a young disabled boy in a wealthy family who had little time for him. Artemos was purchased to be a playmate and companion for the boy, as well as a service dog when needed. Artemos would accompany the boy everywhere, often in husky form when he needed to be less obtrusive. He loved his child dearly, and was happy if not a little spoiled and pampered, belonging to the family that he did.

Unfortunately, as life is never kind, the boy one day developed a sudden and unexpected medical complication and passed away shortly after. The family, grieving the loss of their child and having no use for a grem who knew only how to care for a sick child and did nothing but remind them of their loss, was put up for sale for a fraction of what he was worth, in hopes that he would be taken off their hands quickly.

He was quickly purchased by a fishmonger in the small town nearby who was seeking extra help with his growing business and a companion for his own grem2, Banke. Artemos, still recovering from loss and rejection, did not take to the business for some time, finding the work to be dirty and demeaning. Luckily, his new companion didn't understand the concept of giving up, and Banke's enthusiasm gradually began to wear on Artemos, eventually bringing the grumpy grem around. 

To this day he still has little patience for Banke's shenanigans, and still balks slightly at being a sled dog for a cart full of fish, but he accepts the work and is quite (grudgingly) attached to Banke as well as his owner, even if he has to stick his nose up once in a while.

Additional info: Eskigrem - this individual is able to change forms between Grem and husky.





Banke (Reference) By Strait by Salisburies Banke By Red-Anteater by Salisburies

Banke #763

Pronunciation: Bank
Pronouns: Male
Personality: Childish, energetic, innocent, affectionate, eager. Loves fish, terrified of water.
Paired with: Tesla
Other relationships: Friends with Artemos
Full BioBanke is a free spirited, slightly undersized little Grem2 who was originally commissioned by a company to be an assistant on a big business fishing boat. Although the grem was eager to work and help, the captain of the vessel had no love for him and treated him only as a tool, and an unsatisfactory one at that. Despite his relative strength, Banke was too small to complete the unreasonable tasks he was constantly assigned, and the man quickly began to see the grem2 as nothing more than a burden, always making mistakes and generally getting in the way.

When Banke's clumsiness caused an entire haul of fish to go tumbling back into the water, costing the captain an entire day's work, he threw the flustered grem overboard, ridding himself of the headache for good.

In his panic and confusion, Banke nearly drowned that day, and would have were it not for a small boat happening across him. It was another fishing boat, though the fishmonger it belonged to was a kindly man with a gentle heart. The man hauled a shaken and freezing Banke from the waters and allowed the grem to return home with him. With nowhere to go and a poor history with people behind him, Banke agreed to work for the fishmonger, and quickly bonded with his savior, eagerly selling and delivering fish in the small town where they lived. 

Banke frequently goes on fishing trips with his owner, but is quite petrified of the water itself. He is otherwise a (rather annoyingly) happy and enthusiastic grem2 who very much loves fish, running, and his grumpy companion Artemos, whom the fishmonger later bought from a family who no longer had need of him after his owner passed away.
