(He's a bit of a bookworm). Raven black hair falls to the end of his back, wild and hard to keep manageable, the main reason that Noah usually keeps his hair tied up, even if only loosely. In the sunlight, his hair's highlights come out, creating shades of bright, and deep hues of purple and blue. When it's not tied up, it has the most annoying tendency to fall in his eyes, constantly forcing Noah to pull it out of the way. His taste in clothes is a preference for casual and comfort. He dislikes wearing clothes that are too tight and uncomfortable to walk or sit in. Even when not appropriate for the weather, or the situation, he'll still take comfort over looks and efficiency. But he does at least take care to make sure that his clothes are neat and clean. When he is on the job, working for the Vaulli's, he wears very neat and formal clothing that is befitting of a servant. It is loose, light and easy to work in, which is very important.

Personality:
Noah only wishes to help people find the path that they can follow with their hearts, one that they won't have to look back upon with regret. If there's a problem that they can't get over without a little help, then he's always willing to lend a hand. If an old lady needed help across a busy road, he would do so. Kind of like the sort of guy who would put his jacket down across a puddle for a lady. He's open minded, and always try to approach new subjects with an open mind. He's not a philosopher, and doesn't claim to know what's best for every single person. If a mass murderer needed help getting over a fear of the dark, then he would help them out. He doesn't judge people based on what they are, or have done, nor their beliefs and looks. Noah looks at each person as their own unique person and tries to see what they really are, instead of what other people think they are.
[Loneliness: He is terribly lonely. Due to the darkness that has taken such deep roots into his heart, he feels like he cannot feel any meaningful connection towards other people, not when there is such anger and hate clouding his thoughts. Although he does love spending time around people, recently he's felt that he's been drifting away from his friends- like there's an invisible wall that's slowly falling down between them. Less and less time has been spent with them, and he often prefers to spend his nights alone and deep in contemplation. Work also takes up a lot of his time.]
Mild and calm, quiet but cheerful, he isn't exactly the life of the party, but is more of a solid pillar that others can depend on. He will never betray his friends, or even random strangers confiding in him, and is very trustworthy. He enjoys researching new subjects, reading, and seeing new things. He's also rather disorganized and messy, so he writes things down on sticky notes and stuff so that he won't forget. Noah is always seeking to learn new things, so that he'll be better able to help people. He has a quiet love of cats and birds, and loves nothing more then quiet hours with a good book and a hot cup of cocoa. In his spare hours, he's learning to play the piano, and is interested in learning how to play the violin.
[Sorrow: He is sad. Depressed, even. There is no getting around it, no matter how much he denies his feelings and pretends that he's happy and fine. His entire life has been one tragedy after another. The death of his parents was not so bad. The things that they did have kept him up for many a sleepless night. He has not been able to forgive himself for his sister's suicide, constantly thinking that it was somehow his fault. That even if it was not, he should have tried harder, seen the signs, did something to prevent her from leaving him all alone and sad. He can hardly stand feeling this way.]
Sometimes he's a bit too easy going and free spirited. Also, he loves sweets and hot chocolate. But his favourite thing in the world is definitely snow cones. He even carries around packets of snow cone flavouring in his pockets so that he can make them whenever he feels like it. Usually calm and quiet, Noah goes about daily life with a smile, viewing the glass as half full. If life is going pretty rough for you, then why make it worse? Looking for the silver lining in the clouds is how he prefers to go about things. He's easy going, cheerful and friendly, making it easy to approach and talk with him.
[Bitterness: Lately he has felt as though bitterness and resentment has overtaken his emotions. It is not a good feeling. He hates feeling this way, and wants to figure out a way to get rid of it-- but nothing he does seems to help. The most he can do is take deep breaths and try to wait it out so he doesn't take irrational measures. The bitterness leads to anger and the anger leads to hatred. He doesn't know if these feelings come from his sadness and loneliness, or just from his own personality. He hates the idea of thinking that he is such a petty and cruel person when it comes down to it. He wants to be a good person.]
He may be seen as naive and too light-hearted and hopeful, usually stating ideals considered impossible, such as "saving everyone". After losing his sister as a teenager, he became a lot more self aware about his actions and takes responsibility for his own actions. He has a talent for cooking. Noah has a habit of carving what he makes into various things, such as carving a turnip into a dove, making a turtle out of a pumpkin, and shaving carrots into flowers. He believes having a loving family is all someone really need in life, due to his lack of a family.
[Anger: Anger is a safe and terrible emotion, a double edged sword. It's easy to ignore all of the sad and terrible things that happen in everyday life when you just get angry over it. But anger is also unhealthy and tends to cause more destruction than it fixes. Noah knows this full well-- he saw how his father's anger destroyed their lives. Yet he also has a terrible temper, just like his father, and although he does know how to keep his anger tied up, it is still hard to erase. Working hard at his jobs is a way of handling it so it doesn't get out of control.]
When he's around friends, he really lightens up. All smiles and laughter and having fun. He loves to spend time with the people he cares about and looks after them. He enjoys doing things that would make them happy, and gives them random presents. Although he doesn't like doing loud and noisy things, like parties. He would rather have small-get togethers where they can just hang out together and do things. He likes to make small talk and is a very good listener and conversationalist. Making friends is easy for him-- he has a soothing aura that draws people towards him. When things are calm and peaceful, he enjoys having fun and enjoying himself. Sometimes, he can almost seem childish, but he's a smart person and is serious when the situation calls for it.
[Hatred: He never knew that he could hate someone so strongly before. He always believed that he was a lover, not a fighter, and that he would never fall victim to negativity. Yet he surprised himself-- he isn't even certain when the hatred began to take on such a strength and force. He feels guilty for hating the Vaulli's as strongly as he does. Yet he cannot deny that he does not hate them-- that he hates them for destroying his life, his family line, for ruining the happiness that should have been his. He hates himself for feeling this way, he hates the emotions that overwhelm him, and he hates feeling helpless. Sometimes it feels like there is nothing left but his hatred, burning a hole in his heart.]
BACKGROUND:
History:The Delonos line was once proud and powerful. Rich, famed, and influential, they once were in the very highest tiers of high society. They worshipped the dark legendary known as Destinae and through him, gained power and reputation, always pleased to offer him sacrifices and loyalty in exchange for power and material gain. So good were they at hiding this dark secret that no one ever suspected a thing; only thinking of them as a normal rich, and powerful noble family.
But they were also proud, and very vain. The men of the family thought that they could do whatever they wanted without any consequences. They were arrogant, and full of hubris. After all, with the amount of power that they held, there was not a lot that anyone could do to them. And so one fateful day, the heir of the family would commit an act that would begin the start of their downfall. He seduced and slept with a married woman from another rich and affluent family-- the Vaulli's. The resulting scandal and shame sparked a grudge that would carry on for many centuries past the incident.
The grudge between the two families went on for many years-- petty and violent incidents that came far and few between. In the meantime, as time marched forward, the Delonos line began to decline in power somewhat. Unlike the Vaulli's, they did not keep their bloodlines pure. They mixed and melded in with many others, using the bloodlines to keep themselves in power. But it was not something that could remain forever.
Some years before Noah's birth, the Delonos took up in the medical field, despite the fact that the Vaulli's had always been the ones who ruled that field. It sparked an outrage in the rival family, and with cold precision and hate, they used smear campaigns, rumors, malpractice and dirty secrets to destroy the Delonos line. A final, violent incident was the last straw-- the Delonos line was reduced to the last family, broken, forgotten, and broke.
When Noah was born, his father, a failed doctor, and his mother, a rich bride who was anger over her lack of fortune, were living in a low-income neighborhood, seething with hatred, and bitterness over the destruction of their family line. Demi's sister was the only one who did not let the family grudge affect her. She was a hard worker and a loving person, and she was the one who filled the lonely void of affection in Noah's life. His father began to drink, and subsequently lost his job. He took out his anger on his family-- and the abuse caused his mother to take up drugs to cope. Oftentimes the two would be away for long times, only returning home to rage about their grudge, take out their hate and anger on their children, and pass out in drunken fits.
Eventually, his father disappeared. He never said why or gave any indication-- one day he just simply didn't come home. It was a relief in one way since then he could no longer hurt any of them. But they no longer had his meager (and oft wasted) paychecks to support themselves on. His mother overdosed only a few short months after he vanished, once they had been forced to rely on government assistance to survive, moving into a dangerous and shoddy neighborhood in the slums. Noah's sister never told him, but Noah knew all the same it wasn't simply an accidental overdose-- it was a suicide. She couldn't cope.
Noah did not let himself fall to rage and despair and hate like his parents had. Instead, he, like his sister, turned to love and tolerance to get himself by. He never lost his anger, and buried any hateful, bitter, and angry feelings deep in his heart, where he couldn't feel them or have to face them. He was surprisingly not bullied in school-- he used his charisma and kindness to make plenty of loyal and caring friends. The one lesson he learned from his childhood was that anger and hate would get him nowhere but sadness and loneliness. Kill 'em with kindness, so to speak, was the better way of dealing with anger.
Growing up with his sister Ann-maria, the two of them did their best to look out for one another and make sure that they didn't starve. Noah continued to go to school, while his sister dropped out and took a job so that he'd be able to keep going. She never told him what her job was. When he was fifteen, his sister got in a relationship with an older man. She spent more and more time away from home, and was beginning to get dragged into the city's dark currents.
Then, it happened.
One night, while he was napping on the couch, his sister came home, covered in blood and sobbing her eyes out. She was hysterical and nothing he said helped her. It would seem her boyfriend and herself had been attacked by a gang while on a date. He had been killed, and she... From then on, his sister entered a deep, dark depression. Despite his attempts to cheer her up, she was too depressed to listen. Every night he had to listen to her cry, and know there was nothing he could do. He should have known something was wrong when she gave her poke'mon up for adoption.
A year later she was dead. She'd shot and killed herself, and beside her body there was a blood splattered note saying "I'm sorry Noah. Please forgive me if you have it in your heart to do so."
Suddenly Noah was all alone in the world. He didn't have any that he could count on, and despite himself, his negative emotions that had been bottled up for so long were getting harder and harder to hold back. His temper began to get short, and though he never showed it on the surface, he raged and nursed bitterness over the smallest of transgressions with his friends. Despite his youth he was forced to try and find a job in order to support himself, since with everything that was happening in the region he couldn't really count on government assistance to get him by.
During this time, he battled with his poke'mon, in a way of relieving his own stress and pain, while also increasing their bonds with one another. He loved battling; it was a way of getting closer with his poke'mon and getting to know other people better as well. He gained quite a bit of experience in his free time, whenever he wasn't studying or resting, and made a lot of friends and connections as a result. Despite this, he didn't go through any gym battles or into any proper poke'mon challenges as he wasn't very interested in elite battling and preferred to battle simply for the sake of the exhilaration and bonding, rather than the sake of a title or pretty badge.
He began to have strange and worrying dreams. Dreams about the destruction of the Vaulli family, hurting them as they had hurt him and making them feel all of the suffering that his own family on had through. It frightened him, these dark thoughts that came from the depths of his own heart; he did not know how to deal with them and trying to shove them back into a place he could safely ignore them wasn't working.
His grades began to fall. His dreams got darker. A figure began to appear in them, nursing and encouraging his hatred, anger and bitterness. It was hard for him to understand, and he began to worry about his own sanity. He hated those thoughts and struggled to tell himself that it was just a phase. But after nearly attacking another student out of pent-up rage one day, he decided he could no longer just ignore what was happening. He needed help, and fast. So he got himself a therapist and tried to work out his problems.
Unfortunately for Noah, said therapist did not have his best interests in mind. The man, Stanley Hopkins, was known as Pravus' best brainwasher for a reason-- and he was always willing and ready to push his own limits-- to see what he could manipulate and convince another person into doing. Noah, in a vulnerable position, was an easy target. His morals and thoughts were twisted, his anger and rage intensified until he was barely able to hide the hatred bubbling away just underneath the surface.
In his dreams, the darkness became a mentor, a teacher. It taught him how to take out his anger, how to store up his hatred and use it to motivate himself. While he was good at hiding this newly awoken side of himself, he could not stand just leaving it to boil. So he turned his thoughts to revenge against the Vaulli family. They had destroyed his own family, and ruined his entire life. With the darkness in his heart, he decided that he would destroy them as they had done to him. He would infiltrate them and destroy them from the inside out, starting with their precious heir.
He became a servant for the Vaulli's. Making sure that they could not recognize him, he took on a fake alias, calling himself Felix and creating a false history. With his mentor's teaching, it was easy to find the right contacts and ways to create a false history that he could easily fall back on. Although there was a part of himself that felt guilty and uncertain about what he was doing, he ignored it, because working towards his revenge felt far too satisfying and fulfilling to give up. He fed on his own anger and "righteous" hatred to fuel his motivation.
Years went by as he continued to serve under them, always careful to hide his true intentions as he worked to learn more about them. He was intent on earning their trust, learning their darkest and best kept secrets, and everything that they cared for before moving to take his revenge. The darkness of his dreams faded away; Destinae, his mentor who had nursed his hatred fell silent. He did not care since he was busy with working towards his revenge.
He graduated. It was easy for him, and he was pleased that he could now consider himself a proper "adult." On the side, when he wasn't working under the Vaulli's as their servant, he took on a small job with Pravus, so that he could make as many powerful connections as possible. He was very careful to begin making friends with influential people, lawyers, police officers, doctors and a general network of people who had power and knowledge in spades.
Now he is simply working towards his revenge, creating a influential network of contacts and allies, and working on uncovering the darkest secrets of the Vaulli family. Although there is a side of him that feels guilty and uncertainty about his choices, his anger and bitterness drives his hatred force to seek vengeance. He will not rest until they have suffered as he as suffered.
