A long time ago, when humans had just evolved into the form they are in these days, Gaia called for help from the other planets in the galaxy. These humans were destroying her land and killing her creatures and she was rather worried. The Moon answered Gaia's plea and created the True Ancestor vampires to feed on humans and keep them in check. Type Moon (the most powerful creature on the moon), also known as Brunestud of the Crimson Moon came to Earth in search of something interesting.
He was pretty fortunate in what he found. In a certain village, during humanity's tribal times, existed a 14 year old boy. This boy was a “Planet Terminal” and had an ability called “demonization” which allowed him to make manifest any creature a human could imagine. Because of this, the village people worshiped him. This worship was very gruesome because, to prevent him from leaving, they cut off the boy's arms and legs. Hearing of this boy, the Crimson Moon came to this village and set a decree. If they could imagine a powerful enough creature for the boy to bring to life that could defeat him, he would leave the village alone. If not, he would kill everyone.
The boy ended up bringing creature after creature to life at the villager's whims. They wished to live but none of the creatures they could imagine were powerful enough to destroy the Crimson Moon. He ended up wiping out the village and the poor boy died of exhaustion, bringing to life more creatures than he could handle. But the Crimson Moon enjoyed this ability, thought it was true art, and turned the boy into a vampire. When the boy came to, he ordered him to create four creatures to become his arms and legs. The boy did so and became the person we know as Merem Solomon.
Merem felt he owed a great debt to the Crimson Moon and followed him everywhere he went. He was immortal now so death was far beyond his realm. Unfortunately for him, Zelretch, the great Magus, got into an argument with the Crimson Moon. The Crimson Moon thought it would be a good idea to crash the moon into Earth and Zelretch pretty much disagreed entirely. After a long fight, Zelretch ended up being turned into a vampire and the Crimson Moon was defeated and killed.
The Crimson Moon, not wanting to lose his existence, placed shards of himself into two of his ancestors; Arcueid and Altrouge Brunestud. The two sisters were hardly concerned about who would be the real successor to the throne of “Type Moon” but Merem supported Arcueid as the real ancestor to the throne, unlike many of the other vampires that existed. Merem came to hate Altrouge as a false Princess and wanted nothing to do with her.
A great sorcerer named Roa came into existence after this. In the Church, he created an organization that would hunt down vampires called the Burial Organization. This was the human's first offensive against the race that had plagued them for so long. Seeing the problem, Merem offered his services to the Burial Organization. In return, he could study the artifacts that the Church kept in storage. They snapped up this deal, knowing that they were just using the old vampire. Merem knew he was being used but, in return, he used the Church. He wanted to study history and that's what he got.
Eight hundred years ago, Roa did something rather devious. He tricked Arcueid into turning him into a vampire. Arcueid went insane and Altrouge was forced to defeat her. Then as she went to face off against Roa, she was pounded into the ground by the sorcerer's magic and new vampire abilities. Merem came to appreciate Roa for this victory against Altrouge but Arcueid, after recovering, quickly sought to kill Roa. After eighteen reincarnations, Roa was finally permanently killed by Tohno Shiki.
Some period of time after this, Ciel, one of Merem's co-workers, is given what is considered a suicide mission. Merem, eager to see Ciel's want to live but urge to die, tagged along. He even ate the person who was supposed to be Ciel's partner so he could be given the spot to join. Unfortunately, their target ended up being more powerful than Merem imagined and he ended up being temporarily injured. Cue Ciel dragging him back so he could quickly heal up.
After this, all the other vampires started to conspire against Arcueid. After all, if they acted up, she would kill them. Merem was against this movement among the other vampires and preferred to assist Arcueid behind the scenes. And that, unfortunately, brings up to the end of the story. If and when Tsukihime 2 comes out, we'll get more information.
Previous Game History:
Previously, Merem was in Mayfield. For quite a long while too. Despite all the horrors and things that had been experienced, Merem has already lived such a long, long life. The time spent in game hasn’t changed him much, especially as he has experienced much of what the game could offer in real life. Despite that, he did up having a few small changes and even made a few ‘friends’ during his time in Mayfield.
First among his changes is that he grew a little more distant from Ciel. Her time spent interacting with others had, in Merem’s opinion, mellowed her out. She was no longer the person she used to be and Merem essentially grew bored of her, only retaking interest when something stupendous happened. Or if Ciel was forced to make a decision that had no good ending. It was the small things that ended up slightly changing their relationship.
Among other things, he did manage to become close to a few people. None of them were human, making it easier for Merem to get along with them. Still, it was a step forward as Merem had made only a very small amount of friends in his entire life. Being able to interact with those that did not exist in his world made things different and kept his eyes open on the new opportunities that could be presented to him.
Personality:
Merem, as a person who has lived since the dawn of humanity, has a very detached view of life. He is immortal, time means nothing, and he really cannot be hurt. As such, people dying or suffering means very little since it will end in the blink of an eye to him. Humanity also exists low on his scale of importance because they are like cows to him. They live a decent life and, in return, he feeds on them to keep living. This can be termed as cruel or insensitive but as a higher being, he can take such a view on life.
As a person, Merem describes himself as “wise and cool”, as if he's trying to be like his namesake King Solomon. He's not a super genius or capable of high speed calculations but long life has granted him much more. His interest in history and learning allows him to make very logical decisions based on the past experiences of others. He can often be found looking into an artifact or researching a past event to find out what exactly happened. Politics are very important to him since the other vampires often engage in intense political discussions to make decisions.
Many other vampires enjoy things to be boring or under control. Merem is the exact opposite. He absolutely loves it when the status quo is stirred up and everyone is thrown for a loop. This is one of the reasons why Merem enjoyed watching the actions of Roa because Roa often times made other vampires insecure of their own positions. But, out of all the vampires, he thinks Ortenrosse is an old fudge who never likes excitement and Vam-Fem is exciting because he spends his life with humans and adapts to their life style. It's also interesting to note that while Merem helps the Church, Gransurg Blackmore (he took his name from Edgar Allen Poe's Nevermore because Blackmore revers birds) helps the Mage's Association. Both of them support Arcueid.
On Arcueid, Merem is very stalwart. He is very much infatuated with her and was slightly frustrated to hear that she had taken Tohno Shiki as a lover. Merem believes that Arcueid will be succeeding the Crimson Moon so he backs her completely. A majority of the other vampires presume that Altrouge will succeed the Crimson Moon and that puts him at odds with the rest of them. During meetings, they often have verbal spars and he insults Altrouge by calling her the “false Princess”.
Merem often undertakes a different persona for those he is close with. With fellow workmates like Ciel or animals, Merem reverts to a more childlike manner, doing things much like a 12-14 year old would. He's often full of giggles and chortles and will prefer to play games over being serious. His relationship with Ciel is something of a odd infatuation, going as far as eating a co-worker to make sure he can be with her. It's almost as if he's a stalker but he keeps around her simply because she's interesting due to her conflicting beliefs. With her, he's always a bit more animated, allowing himself to have a more natural flow to himself than the Wise And Cool Merem everyone else sees.
Over all, with others, Merem is something of a jerk. Chaotic neutral, if you will. He loves teasing others to get a reaction and isn't afraid of any threats that fly his way. Well, “isn't afraid” isn't the proper word. He simply just doesn't care and brushes them off. He's very aware the the Church is using him for his abilities but he doesn't mind. In his opinion, he'll outlive the Church so let them do what they want. The same principle exists for others. As long as he's enjoying himself, he doesn't care who is actually taking advantage of him.
Abilities/Powers:
Merem, first and foremost, is a vampire. He possesses high speed, high strength, and high speed regeneration. In return, he must drink the blood of humans to survive.
Secondly, he possesses the ability called “demonization”. What this allows him to do is bring to life creatures from the imagination of others. Whether is is real, fake, or completely contrived; he can bring it to life. These creatures are incapable of killing others or causing any type of destruction since they technically do not exist. However, they can make things “not exist” by dragging them into their plane of existence. In effect, they can kill things. However, these demons are commonly considered good things because they absorb the pains of others due to the imperfection of their existence.
But all things have a downside, and for Merem, he cannot bring creatures from his own imagination to life. Instead, he can only bring creatures from human minds to life. With his dislike of humans, he doesn't want to give them anything so he will never really use this power.
One other thing this power grants him is the ability to speak with animals. That is one thing he does profusely, loving the company of wildlife.
Merem does have four demons of his own to use, each making up a limb on his body.To replace his limbs, Merem was ordered by the Crimson Moon to create creatures that would take their place. So four creatures came into existence. By making them take the place of a missing limb, Merem brings these creatures to life. It should be noted that the creatures respect him and follow his wishes. Merem does not order them around but asks them to complete tasks.
By giving up his right leg, he brings to life the King of the Earth. This huge creature surpasses even Godzilla in size. It's Merem's favorite creature because of it's high attack and defense capability. He wanted it to look like a dog but due to his terrible imagination, it ended up looking more like a whale with legs.
By giving up his left leg, he can bring to life the King of the Sky. This creature floats through the sky but its usage by Merem is actually pretty low. It can take on any creature in a one on one duel but it will die soon after the duel's end. Merem considers it too much of a cost to constantly bring this creature back to life so he rarely uses it.
By giving up his right arm, he can summon Lady Windup. A large robot equipped with weapons fitting for the time period, this is one of Merem's most hated creatures. She is rather stupid and stubborn. If given a complicated order, she will complete the first thing she was told and start random destruction after that. She gets disinterested easily and may just stop in the middle of a task if it isn't enough for her to complete.
By giving up his left arm, he can summon the King of the Rats. This is the only creature that is of normal size and has the intelligence of a human. He is also used by Merem quite frequently. The Rat King has the ability to take any humanoid shape and take any humanoid voice. As such, he spends most of his time looking like a Bishop, being Merem's envoy to the outside world. Under the gaze of a high class magic user or a high ranked religious person, he returns to being a rat due to being spooked. Because he's a rat, the Rat King enjoys cheese and pizza is its favorite food. The Rat King, while it's not supposed to like humans, claims that he will tolerate their presence and help them as long as they keep making pizza.
To replace his limbs, Merem was ordered by the Crimson Moon to create creatures that would take their place. So four creatures came into existence. By making them take the place of a missing limb, Merem brings these creatures to life. It should be noted that the creatures respect him and follow his wishes. Merem does not order them around but asks them to complete tasks.
Items/Weapons: Nooooothing except the clothes on his back.

Sample Entry Two:
So…it was going to be this again? It was like one of those bad commercials you could hear on the radio. Happy happy funland, or however it sounded in other languages. Staring at the sign, Merem could only grin. That wasn’t something that was going to leave his face anytime soon. Really, though, out of one town and into another? At least this one didn’t even pretend to have a nice façade around it though the lack of an attempt to hide the circumstances sucked a lot of fun out of it.
He’d never turn down a chance to have more opportunities to do anything. Especially meet new people. Merem may dislike humans but that didn’t mean that certain humans couldn’t interesting. And it seemed that places like this seemed to attract all of them. Especially, in his opinion, the hero types who would sacrifice everything to save everyone. Those kind of people never enjoyed a moral dilemma, which meant they made great targets for one.
For now, the question was finding the right people to make the stay enjoyable. If he was going to have an extended stay, he certainly would prefer to make it worthwhile.
