Physical Description
Remi stands tall, made to seem even more so just by how slender he is. His skin is a dark, coppery brown, and he has thick, wavy black hair that he keeps fairly short so as to not get in his way. His eyes are a vibrant green, which might be attractive if he weren't frowning so damn much, or had them constantly in his notes.

Personality
A workaholic to the extreme, Remi fails in what might be considered basic life skills. He has trouble maintaining healthy relationships, often forgetting to give back any affection he receives. He has even more trouble maintaining his own health, often working well into the next morning and forgetting that most human beings require a certain amount of sleep a night in order to continue functioning.

As such, he can seem scattered, with his thoughts in a million different places, and not everything he says or does immediately seems to make sense, or at all. He's also terribly superstitious, and obsessive-compulsive (doing things in fours, counting to ten before taking an action, etc.), to where sometimes it's impossible to deal with him at all on a bad day.

However, he has a very deep sense of right and wrong, of justice and injustice, and is very willing to throw his everything into doing what is right. To him, it is a far worse thing to stand by and be complacent than it is to burn himself out completely.

Magic/Abilities
He uses a form of divination by way of bone runes, which he uses to communicate with the lingering spirits of the dead and help track down their killer. Most notably (though invisibly) followed by his elder sibling, who regularly nags him from beyond the grave into taking care of himself.

Relationships
Parents both alive, though their relationship is strained.
Elder sibling, dead, (currently name and genderless) perpetually stuck as a young teenager and looking after their now-grown baby brother, who still acts like a damn baby at times.

History
Remi was born the younger of two children by about six years. He had a happy childhood, mostly due to the constant doting he received from his elder sibling. He was always looked after, and always safe, or so they both believed. One day, however, in the middle of playing hide and seek in the woods, Remi thought it unusual he hadn't been found as quickly as he usually was. He hung back for another hour or two, but then got hungry and surly and went looking for his older sibling. It took another hour for him to start getting panicked, and as he was running home to fetch his parents, he came across the very brutally stabbed body of his sibling, just off the forest path.

No amount of looking for the killer yielded results, and so the family was forced to bury their eldest without any kind of closure. Remi went from being a happy child to being terribly subdued, scared of leaving his house, and intensely guilty over what happened to his sibling. This is probably what prompted him to enter law enforcement, and coupled with a childhood fascination with divination, led him to work as the homicide investigator that he is.

The bone runes he uses are an heirloom, passed down on his mother's side, and gifted to him by his grandmother when he expressed that he never got a chance to say goodbye. Much to his surprise, his sibling answered back, and continues to talk to him via small means like the runes or knocking something over.
