The Branch House

The Branch House is an ARG on TikTok that is directly connected to, and is a part of REM Sleep. This article is about the house itself, and it's inhabitants. For an article on the ARG itself, see REM Sleep.

Brief Description
The Branch House is a group of elite proxies living together in a cabin in Maine. It's much like a family, but a very dysfunctional one. The members (past and current) consist of 2 Berserkers (Toby Willow and Min), 1 Sleeper (Roxy/Cody Meadows), 2 Revenants (Ava Williams and Scarlett Thomas), and a shadow person (Daniel Jackson). Daniel had lost a fight with the Slender Man, and was given the duty of protecting and training these proxies.

Daniel Jackson
Daniel Jackson was 22 years old when he died. When he was alive, he had a wife and two kids. His co-worker, Peach, had a crush on him. They ran a shop together that sold "magical and anomalous" items. Sometime in 2018, Peach found an area in the woods behind Daniel's therapist's office that made her hallucinate people without eyes. She showed Daniel the place, and they explored it together. She eventually got too freaked out and ran away, leaving Daniel there all alone.

Daniel got lost in this place, and died. In Hell, he made a deal with Lucifer to bring him back to life and make him immortal, all for the cost of his sight. Lucifer, however, being the trickster they are, gave Daniel a never ending hunger for flesh. He now roams every dimension and realm selling anomalous objects, mainly living in our own. He runs a small shop in Maine where he sells the same anomalous objects he normally does. He is close to Ava and Cody.

His abilities include:


 * Manipulation of shadows
 * Teleportation
 * Dimensional shifting
 * Technopathy

Ava Williams
Ava Williams is a revenant proxy of the Slender Man, and has been since maybe February of 2020. Her revenant form resembles Baphomet, except without wings. She used to run a Homestuck fan blog on Instagram, but it soon turned into a journal when her life was flooded with monsters. She eventually got fed up with fighting back and just gave in. Her revenant is named Taunt, he’s a black anthropomorphic goat. After full assimilation, and Taunt murdering her family while using her as a host, Ava ends up running away. She came across Daniel while in New Hampshire, and went to live with him in the Branch House. She is currently dating Scarlett, and is being home-schooled by Daniel.

Her abilities include:


 * Shapeshifting
 * Enhanced strength
 * Enhanced speed
 * Teleportation

Scarlett Thomas
Scarlett Thomas is a revenant proxy of the Slender Man. Her revenant is a lanky, anthropomorphic rabbit with cuts and scabs all over it, named the Scab Rabbit. Not much is known about her, other than the fact that she's extremely dangerous, rarely leaves her room, and wants to get close with Tree Hugger. She's currently dating Ava Williams. Her history is unclear, and shrouded in mystery, but it's been hinted at that she's a relative of Mary Thomas.

Her abilities include:


 * Shapeshifting
 * Enhanced strength
