Physical Appearance
Remus is 6'1 (The tallest of his friends), and despite his lankiness, he is surprisingly strong. He has amber eyes that shift from more yellow to more brown, depending on the lunar cycle, and had blue eyes as a child. He has sandy light brown hair. Remus has a large quantity of non-uniform scars across his body, with a noticeable scar that crosses the bridge of his nose, and one that runs from below his mouth down his chin.

Background
Remus is the only son of wizard Lyall Lupin and muggle woman Hope Howell. He grew up in Wales, and was isolated for most of his childhood by his parents because of his lycanthropy. Remus became a werewolf at age six, after he was attacked by werewolf and dark wizard Fenrir Greyback in retaliation for anti-werewolf comments his father made as a journalist. Because of his condition, and the contentious political opinions surrounding werewolves and their place in society, Remus did not expect to be allowed to enroll as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, until headmaster Albus Dumbledore reached out to offer him a chance to be a student, with systems set in place to help Remus hide his lycanthropy and be locked away during his violent transformations.

As a shy eleven year old, Remus was sorted into Gryffindor house, and put into a dorm room with three other Gryffindor first years. This included James Potter, who reached out to include Remus with the others (Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew) until they all became fast friends. However, with Remus disappearing monthly and returning increasingly weak and damaged with increasingly lamer excuses, the others eventually discovered the nature of his secret, and instead of abandoning him in fear like he expected, they swore to keep his secret safe and do whatever they could to help him. Whatever they could do to help him turned out to be performing advanced, illegal magic to turn themselves into Animagi, wizards who can shape-shift into animals at will, in order to keep him company as a wolf.

After his time at school, Remus fought alongside his friends against pureblood supremacists during the First Wizarding War.

Magic
Remus is a wizard, and is able to command magic through a wand that he carries with him. Remus' wand is Cypress wood with a unicorn hair core, 10¼", and has an average flexibility.

Trivia

 * The names "Remus", "Lyall", and "Lupin" all connect to wolf symbolism or directly translate to mean wolf, effectively causing Remus to be named "wolf wolf jr". I am unfortunately not responsible for that piece of brilliant and subtle symbolism.
