Heir to the Remington fortune, Chaotic Good philanthropist and genetic researcher.
DRAFT — recovered worldbuilding notes. Not yet reconciled against other sources.
Elmer and Minerva Remington are the two children of the Remington Family, an ultra-wealthy ruling-class dynasty. The Remington family fortune is estimated at $162 Billion.
Valentino and Bessie Remington sent Minerva to the most prestigious boarding school and spent $10M per year on private tutoring to groom her to become COO of Remington Media.
Though not required to work, Minerva holds many positions — none for financial gain, and uses her money to discretely deal in any area her passion drives her to:
Dedicates 20 hours a week to personally helping the Moncler research team working on curing Chrona Malady — a neurodegenerative disease that caps an individual's life around 30 years old. If the individual is found older than 30, they usually die within a week of contraction.
Also a robotics developer.
Minerva idolizes Sydney Lane, the 33-year-old contemporary polymath who died of Chrona Malady. Sydney Lane was a Classical Artist, Composer, Soloist, Theoretical Physicist, Architect, Computer Scientist, and Mathematician focused on Harmonic Analysis.
Minerva spent $350M of her own savings to acquire all 42 research journals held by Sydney.
"Minerva felt like a blank canvas before a masterpiece when thinking of Sydney, yearning to be painted with the same vibrant colors and intricate details. She saw her as a North Star, a guiding light she followed with unwavering faith."
When stuck, she frequently thinks WWSD — What Would Sydney Do.
Valentino Remington is the Chair of the family conglomerate Remington Media. He also keeps tabs on the various subsidiaries.
Valentino was a troubled child, and his father was barely around. He developed an insecurity and the idea that "Without knowledge and skills you are owed nothing — not even your parents' love." With this ideology at his core, he strained to become someone he felt worthy of his parents' love. He mastered skill after skill: sales, marketing, persuasion, public speaking, debating, betting, investing.
Around his 23rd birthday, Valentino's father died in a car accident. Valentino was forced, as heir of the family, into taking his position. He was looked down upon as too young, too immature for the job.
There was, however, one board member who had been a close friend of the late Edward Remington: Carlos Vincente. Carlos became like a father to Valentino and mentored him. Taught him the ins and outs of their world — how and why the ruling class acted, how they controlled the classes beneath them, why they alone deserved such power.
Carlos mentored Valentino for years before Valentino became a formidable force, pioneering 3 new subsidiaries that reached a billion-dollar valuation within only a year of launch.
Later in his career, Valentino became aware that Carlos intended to expose the Court. Out of fear, Valentino reported Carlos. The Court then carried out his murder.
Bessie Remington — co-parent of Minerva and Elmer. (Little further detail in recovered notes.)
