I saw [REMINGTON ‘REMY’ BECK] at a coffee shop in [BROOKLYN] today. I forgot how much [HE/THEY] looks like [JORDAN FISHER]. They are a [TWENTY-EIGHT] year old [COMIC SHOP OWNER] who’s been in NYC for [SEVEN YEARS] now.

[STARMAN BY DAVID BOWIE] reminds me of them every time it comes on the radio. — [mar, she/her, 27, e.s.t.]

who says you have to grow up? certainly not remington beck, philly native and comic-store-owner-cum-amateur-ufologist.
at a very young age, remy decided that the world must be a more magical and extraordinary place than it appeared. he devoured anything and everything he could get his little hands on about ghosts and aliens and the like, watching reruns of the x-files with wide eyes and doodling cartoon nessies on his homework. school was tough, to say the least. between a fascination with the paranormal, a stutter, and a learning disorder, remy struggled both academically and socially. they were an easy target for bullying, and he just didn’t understand why no one wanted to be their friend.
at least he had his family. elizabeth beck loved her children more than anything, and despite putting herself through med school (and becoming one of the city’s most preeminent physicians) she made sure to spend enough time with them to make sure they knew just how loved they were. shiloh was remy’s hero before they even knew what the word meant. he absolutely adored his big brother, who tucked him into bed every night and promised them that a better, brighter tomorrow would greet them both. shiloh was remy’s tutor, music instructor, protector, and their only best friend all in one.
their father left when remy was ten and shiloh sixteen. remy had never felt all that close to the man to begin with, finding him too cold and distant to connect with. he figured that everything would be all right as long as he had his mom and brother. but shiloh - well, he took the abandonment hard, and seemed to lose himself in the pain. no more was he the doting sibling laughing at remy’s silly jokes or patiently teaching him how to make origami animals. their relationship quickly soured, and to this day it remains more than a little contentious.
remy dual majored in business (to make shiloh happy) and astronomy (to make himself happy). they moved to new york after graduation and quickly fell in love with one of the very first shops they’d visited, a run-down but beloved little comic store in brooklyn. he became fast friends with the owner, and when they retired they sold it to remy for a song. he put everything he had into fixing the place up, and kryptonite comics is now a gleaming and reputable establishment, not to mention a destination for brooklynites who adore all things geek chic.
a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, remy’s love life is - well - hopeless. they have a tendency to fall for someone, get their heart broken, mourn a while, and then discover the next supposed love of his life - ad infinitum. standards? a type? remy doesn’t know them. but he does know that he’ll find his soulmate eventually. despite the bad hands life has dealt him, they firmly believes that you just can’t keep a good nerd down.
random quick facts:
he has always adored baseball and dance, and still makes time for both
'the remarkable remington' is a superhero alter ego shiloh created for them when they were kids
he is owned by a tortie named roswell or ‘roz’ who can often be found in the shop
he absolutely cannot keep a plant alive for longer than a week, but makes up for it by being a surprisingly decent cook
they are, as you may have gathered, obsessed with david bowie
his music taste in general is mostly contained to the 80s - classic rock and synth pop are always playing in kryptonite
they absolutely adores painting their nails, and have an extensive collection of polish that he won’t hesitate to share with friends - or better yet, give them manicures himself!
