Hello. My name is Remi and I'm a plural system. When I was a young child, around 1995, I went through some things that weren't great. I got imaginary friends that became much more visceral and elaborate around 2002 time, which kept proceeding. Eventually I had a complex paracosm. Around 2017 some other things happened and that paracosm was destroyed. I felt alone for the first time, and that lasted until about 2020. In 2023 I started showing erratic behavior changes, and now I'm taking atypical antipsychotic medication that has significantly reduced this.
These characters have appeared in my comics a lot. These old comics feel extremely inaccurate now. I used to be separate, partitioned off from them, like friends I could talk to on an imaginary phone call. Now I have all of their memories, including the edgy bad ones that only a 13 year old edgelord could write. These bad memories used to cause me a lot of distress but they cause me less now that I'm taking medication.
I am now my friends. I simultaneously mourn all of their loss, while being happy to have them all. It's conflicting and difficult sometimes, but I'm moving forward.
Please give a brief introduction to the readers.
Hello! My name is Shiné and I want to make friends and help to make the world a better place. The world can be very frustrating, but I believe that's mostly due to the way modern society tries to get you to think globally instead of locally. The larger the group of people you pay attention to, the more likely it is that at least one person is going to be in a terrible crisis of some kind, and if you spread yourself too thin, you can't help with everything and it will overwhelm you. If instead you focus on a small number of people and things, you can tackle problems as they come to you. You're just one person, but you can affect change in a big way if you set your goals at reasonable places and inspire others to do the same. You might not have the power to do anything to really help the planet as a whole, but you can absolutely help your neighborhood, or your town, or even your city. If everyone thought this way, I'm certain the world would be a better place for everyone.
Hi. I'm Shædo. I'm a Catgirl who is here to do what other people tell me to do, basically. I have no moral compass, but I've got a reason to assume that Shiné is good, so I just do whatever she tells me to do. She rarely tells me to do anything because she wants me to think for myself. This makes it very easy to do whatever Shiné tells me to do. I'm Shiné's sister and husband. I am Heather's father, and Mika's mother.
hey there. My name's Eliza and I'm a Catgirl who is a part of the Remi System! I'm friendly and polite. I like to tell jokes. I also like to do DRUGS. I was just a regular old civilian before the apocalypse happened and we all got fused together unwillingly, but since it has happened, I have adjusted pretty well to life on Earth. The strangest thing about it was actually coming to terms with the differences between how I perceived people who were celebrities to me, and how they actually are. Being a small part of a collective hivemind of people is both a humbling and also empowering experience. I never would have been able to expect what it would be like, and I can't describe it with words. Shiné is so kind, but also so impotent. She went from being the single most powerful person in the world to being just a small piece of a person. She sells herself short. Anyway, I'm glad to be here. I guess I provide a positive attitude. This is sort of like an upgrade to me. It's like I was possessed by a bunch of brilliant ghosts. I know I said a moment ago that I couldn't describe it with words and that's still true so I'm gonna stop trying to. Thanks for listening to me. - Eliza
Hi hi~! Magical Girl Salimeh, at your service! That's pronounced Saw-Lee-Muh. NOT Sally-May.
Prior to the events that led me to you, today, I was a professional Monster Hunter with the Mahou Shoujo class! That means I was a protector of the innocent, and the enemy of evil! I had 8 transformations, and was comfortably rated Tier 3.
I met with Alex and the others during DCoN. We didn't exactly get along great at the time, but things turned out well in the end. Finding out that I was fused with Shiné and Shædo was a pretty great honor when it happened.
As a part of the system, my function is to actually have any idea what I'm doing with regard to being a lady! My fashion sense and the way I carry myself is pretty important, because the rest of us would be hopeless in that regard without me.
Pleased to meet you! Don't be a stranger!

And hello there from me as well. My name is Hendrix. I'm the creative visionary and spark of life that set the beautiful flame that was NewRem. But that was then. Now I'm just a small part of a larger system, and I'm here to be a cooperative and good friend to myself. I see myself as a little more separate from the collective, but I intellectually comprehend the subject of being a part of a system. We were once far more separated than we are now. When we were separate, I was first a God, and then an item. I grew used to being unable to act without somebody else carrying me about and using my power for me. This is much the same as that. Being part of a system is interesting. I'm glad to be here. - Hendrix
Alex here. I was an isekai protagonist who first appeared in NewRem in about 2002. After saving the world I became a rockstar, then a lawyer, then a politician. I'm charismatic and I'm a guy. In Gamer Comics I'm a weird little trans man gremlin. People like that version of me better, lmao. Considering I don't really have a body anymore, you can think of me as whatever you want. If Remi ever gets competitive while playing a game with you, that's probably me. Might also be Heather. We're the gaaaaamers.
Ahoy-hoy. My name is Cid Isaac Dietrich. I go by CID on the internet. I'm a programmer who developed a lot of very important things. Nowadays I am part of Remi, and I serve as her programmer side. I'm very good at math and very detail oriented, but I'm not always available. It's a long story, but the point is that Remi is not always able to program just as she is not always able to draw, nor always able to perform musically, but when she can, she's very good at it. I'm very good at it.
Hello. My name is Linus, and I am. Adjusting to mortality has been a struggle but I am doing my best. Accepting the finiteness of self is not easy but it can be done. I wish you the best of luck in doing the same. As I understand, even those who were never Gods have difficulty with this. My function as a part of the system is to stoically shoulder difficult or overwhelming situations. I emerge most often when public transit is crowded at capacity, or when things are very loud or chaotic. Heather doesn't do well in those situations, and we become stressed. When that happens, I shoulder that. Thank you for your time.
Good day. I hope this finds you well. I'm a little bit more particular than others here. I carry within me deep shame regarding my past actions. I'm the reason we are a collection of many as one, and not several individuals living in a world. In my life I was a wealthy business woman with a lot of money. I was also born to a very strict family and at an early age I was indoctrinated into a doomsday cult. Forgiving myself for my actions is more difficult than asking others for their forgiveness. Living with myself is difficult. Living with the one who destroyed your home is even harder. I inflict that on Mika simply by continuing to exist. I did not think that I would continue to exist when I did what I did. I'm doing my best to be good for what Remi needs. Thank you for your time.

Greetings. I was never aware that the world I lived in was false, and I never fronted until I was absorbed into everyone else. In my false life, my name was Miyak. These days I go by "Remi". I was a maid, and a humecat. I like to wear clothes that reflect this. Costumes to make myself look like I used to are comforting, but I don't always need to. I was a professional service cat in Zeal. Now I mostly do house chores as Remi.
Hi there. My name is Heather. I was the core personality back when I was a very young child. I retreated into a fantasy world paracosm, and stayed there. Now, as an adult, I'm just part of the collective like everyone else. I'm the one who draws pictures, basically. Good to meet you.
Hello. I'm Mika. Remi's making me post something. I'm entirely separate and don't share memories or feelings with the others. I've lived a long life and I just kinda wanna sleep now. Oh, also, Linus's name is pronounced like the linux guy not like the security blanket guy. Anyway, bye.
Thank you for reading. I want to be more open about my experiences in the future. Up until today this was always something I only told people I trusted, but right now I feel like I can trust all of you. I'm turning 35 years old in February.
