Remus raised both arms up and behind his head, holding the enormous cross behind his back so low that it dug trenches into the dirt behind him. Corded muscles stood taught like elastic bands, ready to burst forth with explosive power until the hulking symbol was sent flying away from him.
Simultaneously, the cowboy grabbed ahold of one of the innumerous straps trailing from off of the shape's wrapped form, somehow being dragged alongside the wake of his own throw at immense speed.
(I haven't added this as an actual drawback since I don't see a completely accurate system for it, but a personal headcanon of mine is that Remus isn't actually particularly religious, only that this strange down payment from the Harbingers before his 1st Contract is a tool that becomes more effective the more crosses that its wielder has on their person. Doesn't make him stronger or anything in-game, just think it explains why his portrait appearance is so noisy.)

He moves with a speed that feels less like running and more like vanishing. There is an eerie stillness to his acceleration, as if the world itself forgets him for a moment. His body answers to strange instincts — joints bending with impossible grace, steps soundless, breath invisible even in the cold. Frost seems to cling to the edges of his presence, a silent chill that numbs the senses of those nearby. Though he trains and sharpens his body like any fighter, something deeper stirs beneath the flesh — something ancient and alien to mortal blood. His passage leaves no trace but a fading shimmer, as if he is merely a spirit brushing past. Those who see him move speak in whispers afterward, uncertain whether they witnessed a man or a phantom called forth by the winter itself. Whatever the truth, his speed is a warning, not a gift.
