Physical Description: Noir is a young man of Asian and European descent. His eyes are slanted a bit, making note worthy claim of being asian though the hue of his eyes contradict the notion, being a piercing blue. Usually there are dark bags under his eyes, showing that he doesn't get much sleep that often. His skin is rather pale giving him a ghostly appearance. His hair color is that of a light shade of black and is usually found in a unkempt manner showing that he isn't very caring of his physical appearance. Physically he is pretty well built, opposing that of his untidy nature.
For clothes, the young man usually wears a a rather normal stylized black suite with a white undershirt and a tie when he goes out for important jobs. He also tends to wear a dark grey coat with white puffy collar when he's out on the street. For casual wear, he wears normal jeans and any color t shirt, usually black or white. He also has a black zip up sweat shirt which he wears with his casual clothes. For footwear, it's normally nice black boots which can be used for either a business or casual wear.
Dislikes:
- Guidelines - He doesn't enjoy being told what to do or having someone guide him to set a destination in any shape or form. His road is his own and he won't allow himself to be walked down upon a a marked path unless it's absolutely necessary.
- Discrimination - He despises those who judge others by their nationality, race, etc. He get's this day in and day out so when it happens to others, he becomes really disgusted.
- Loud Noises - After a heavy night drinking, he really dislikes the idea of being woke up by someone yelling, a car honking it's horn, etc.
- Traffic - Living in a city, this is something he really dislikes. Going anywhere comes out to be a chore for him with all the cars swirling around.
- Obnoxious people - He is an easily annoyed man. From the over happy people, to the cynical dick, these people piss him off.
Likes:
- Books: He loves anything in which can him take away from the living world into a new one.
- Spicy food: He absolutely enjoys anything with a kick to it.
- Women: Like any man his age, women are a great luxury for him to take his mind off his real life troubles.
- Visual Media: Whether it's a play or a movie, he enjoys anything he can sit down and watch.
- Music: He enjoys to relax and listen to any kind of music as long as it has a good beat.
Flaws:
- Greed: Like most of the working class or anybody really, Noir desires wealth typically by legal and moral means but his hunger for more tends to overshadow morality. Easy money is easy money and if he can acquire it by using someone else, then he might do so.
- Power hungry: Born lower than most, Noir wants to be higher than the people who look down upon him like dirt, to be able to look down on them for a change and smirk as they grovel at his feet.
- Rage: Usually Noir tries to pull off being calm and collective but there are times when anger sets in and he can't help but fall into his inner carnal roots and lash out like a savage animal unaware of what he's done until it's too late. This can lead to many mistakes while fighting or just in mid conversation with someone he finds distasteful.
Habits:
- Smoking/Drinking: It's uncommon to see Noir without either a beer bottle in his hand or a cigarette and if not, his breathe usually stinks of the substances.
- Singing: He loves to sing either to himself or to others, either to amuse them or annoy them. There's nothing better than singing a fun tune for all to hear.
- Lighter flicking: When he's bored or anxious he tends to flick his lighter over and over much like a girl plays with her hair, or someone taps their feet.
- Reading: When alone or in public, he tends to read a lot and sometimes in weird positions like upside or laying down and taking the full seat on a bus while catching up on a good novel
- Staring: Probably a very rude habit of his but he can sometimes be seen gazing upon strangers too long be it someone he fancies or hates.
Fears:
- Death: Everyone fears death even if it is inevitable outcome for all living things. Noir is no different in this regard.
- Hollows: Seeing one devour a child at a young age tends to leave one with a bit of a trauma for these white masked beasts.
- Forgotten: Probably worst than death. He fears to not be remembered, to not hold any legacy of who he was.
- Claustrophobic: As a child one of his punishments in the orphanage was to be locked up in a closet, sometimes for hours. This has led him to fear confined spaces.
Goals:
- Success: Another goal for most humans and Noir is no different. He wishes to become rich in both social and finances so he's not worried everyday he might be without a home or friends.
- Betterment: He knows he's he can be a greater person. He wants to be better for those around him and himself so he can truly be proud of the person he is.
- Acknowledgment: Probably his most oldest goal. He desires to be seen more than he is now. To be noticed and looked upon with admiration rather disdain or disgust.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Overall Personality:
From and outsider, Noir most definitely seems to be an arrogant and selfish person who is looking out for only himself. He can be loud and obnoxious at times as he desires to be center of attention. To be see by all and known by all. He does wish for acknowledgment but at young age he noticed that he was usually passed up. So by going all out, he tends to be louder than most so he'll be noticed more even if it can have more negative effects than good ones, at least he'll be noticed and in his eyes sometimes that's good enough. Though secretly he wishes for a more positive reaction just doesn't always know how to get one.
Noir has an ugly outlook on most things and usually hides this fact with cruel jokes or laughs. To cope with his anxiety of his outcomes, he tends to drink away his thoughts and smoke to clear his mind off the everyday problems that occur or thoughts of his past and future. This will usually leave him to be more angry or less talkative with people who wish for him to better himself. He usually can't see that people are trying to help and find that it to be a trick or joke that'll leave him in a more dire situation than he began.
Though typically looked as being selfish, Noir can also have a kind side that he tends to show to those he truly cares about or show true self interest in. He's not just an asshole at the end of the day. He wants to be liked, just doesn't always do the right thing to get there. Living life mostly for himself, he's had a hard time showing others kindness when not much was given to him. To him, a lot of the things he's been given were out of pity even though the truth does sometimes come out just to be swiped away with a drink in hand.
Cold hearted would be another term to call him. He tends to care little of the things he does and the effects they might cause other or even himself. It's almost like he's suicidal half the time and perhaps part of him is. From his fears to closed spaces, and the fear of the unknown, Noir literally drinks away his worries and fears so there is nothing left but numbness or an asshole to cares little about what he does and says. This is another thing he wishes to change with himself, but usually thinks he may be too far gone.
Fighting Style:
When it comes to fighting, Noir's way of handling things goes hand in hand with his selfish personality. If given the chance, he'll either jump someone by surprise or any other dirty tactic he can muster. Nothing is out of the question, as long as he wins the fight. He cares little of showing respect to those he faces, finding them just an obstacle to overcome. If he is without a weapon, he'll tend to use grapples, any close object, or just plain old fists. Styles aren't really his forte sadly and in and up close match he may tend to be outmatched in most cases so he'll take whatever he can to win.
Long distant fighting, if he has a gun or any other weapons that let's him stay at a distance, he'll obviously stay clear away from his target. If he can stay hidden, that would be fine too. Fight and flight is something he's also not ashamed of doing. Sometimes it can help to lead his target into a trap if he's planned far enough ahead to do so. If a fight is too much for Noir, he cares little if he's seen as a coward if he runs away to fight another day. Living is usually better than winning and he could care less what another thinks of him.
Fighting with his doll,Sirius, his tactics of fighting don't really change too much. Sometimes he'll use Sirius as a mere distraction or even vice versa. His dirty tactics just become that much "dirtier" Both will usually taunt their opponent, belittling them as they fight but if it's something they are having a hard time with, they'll be quieter and more careful in their approach to take them down.
Doll 1 Appearance and Overall Ability:
While sealed, Sirius takes the form of a silver lighter with a few engraving such as a quote by Shakespeare. "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but ourselves." It also has the initials of Noir's late mother. Though old, the lighter is in fairly good condition with only a few scratch marks. To release Sirius, Noir must only flick the lighter open and utter the release phrase “Ziege Dich”. The flame will grow larger and Noir will let go as the entire light combusts into flames revealing his unsealed form.
When unsealed Sirius takes the form of what looks like a wolf and a German shepherd mix. Her legs are that of a light tannish color as well as her chest, stomach furs and the inside of her ears. The rest of her pelt is pitch black. Her eyes are a bright amber much like a fire in the night. While standing on her hind legs, she comes up to the same height as her master which is 6 feet. Standing on all fours, Sirius stands more to an average human's midsection. Being that of a muscular canine, Sirius comes out at the weight of 130.
When taking her preferred human form utilizing Biegen - Sirius resembles a young woman with fair skin and light silver hair. Her eyes are a striking amber, the same as her wolfish form. She dresses differently and will pester Noir to buy her clothes, never being seen with the same generally. Sometimes she like to wear dresses, sometimes she likes to steal Noir's suits. Which are clearly oversized on her girlish figure. And sometimes she likes to casually wear hoodies and other baggy clothing.
Type: Spirited
Overall ability (Ereignishorizont) (Event horizon) -
By inhaling, Sirius can take in light sources all around her, be it natural light or artificial light. When she does so, The area around her will become devoid of light and Sirius's reiatsu will fill the area at where the light has been taken, leaving her nigh undetectable, unless she performs a technique. Experts at sensing reiatsu, those who possess 800 energy sensory are able to still locate her. Within the surrounding darkness, Sirius is able to sense everything that's within it regardless if it is hiding or not. Depending on how much reiatsu she uses will determine how much light is devoured in a certain area. For every 25 reiatsu that Sirius uses, 40 meters of light around her is devoured leaving the area devoid of light. Those that inhabit or entire this darkness are left unable to see at all though they can still use their other senses. It also treats those with skills in analysis, battle focus, battle analysis, and focused eye as 2 points lower when battling in this darkness. Light cannot enter this area for 3 posts, unless of course released by Sirius.
Doll 1 Techniques:
Strahl (Beam) - By taking a deep breath and then exhaling, Sirius can expel fiery amber light particles from her mouth in the form of either a beam or an orb. This amber beam upon contact will burn fiercely, capable of piercing whatever it makes contact with. Defensive barriers, and various techniques that are lower than Sirius’s offensive stat are susceptible and will be obliterated upon contact. The beam travels at a speed of 1000. The beam costs 100 to activate. Yet Sirius can upkeep the beam by spending the same 100 cost per post. The orb, on the other hand, does not pierce but causes a ten feet fiery explosion upon contact and has a speed of 1600 with 25% reduction to OS, costing 50 reiatsu per orb.
Cost: 100 for the beam, 100 per post the beam is kept active. 50 per orb.
Disadvantage/Weakness: The beam and the orbs have a set speed and can be dodged, quite easily via step techniques or simply out pacing them.
Lichtstrom (Lightstream) This ability allows Sirius to disperse into light increasing her speed by 10x. This function is like a step technique, allowing her to dodge an attack. Yet it also allows Sirius the ability to phase through objects or people, as if they were glass.
She can also use this technique in a different fashion. By shredding light over her body she can increase the speed of her entire body by 3x over the course of five posts.
Cost: 100 (10x for one step) 300 (3x for five posts)
Disadvantage/Weakness: While only increasing her speed by 3x, her entire body will tire quickly, increasing her chances of exhaustion. It also counts as long term stat boost.
Fassade (Facade) - By manipulating the light around her, Sirius can make optical illusions. She can make fake copies of herself or even bend the light to make it seem like she's in an entirely different place. She can also do this with other people or objects and even her own techniques. She can change what something looks like entirely, for example herself, creating the illusion that she's in another form or even that she's using a different technique or creating the illusion that she's injured. This technique also naturally misdirects energy sensory. So when used on techniques the reiatsu flare appears in the place the user is creating the illusion. Uniquely she can also shift sound, allowing her to misdirect her targets in that way. With sound this technique cost 30. On objects this technique costs 50. On people this technique costs 100. On technique it costs 150. If she wishes to keep the illusion going, the upkeep is 15 for sound, 25 for objects, 50 for people and 75 for techniques.
Cost: 30 (for sound) (15 upkeep for sound) 50 (for objects) 25 (upkeep for objects) 100 (for a person) 50 (upkeep for a person.) 150 (techniques) 75 (upkeep for techniques)
Disadvantage/Weakness: A mixture between both energy sensory and illusion resist, can easily thwart this technique. Normally it is required that a target possess at least 800 energy sensory. But for every point in illusion resist, this reduces that requirement by increments of 300. Meaning those with a 3 in illusion resist, can completely ignore this technique. Also regardless of one's energy sensory, or illusion resist, this technique is not perfect. Even when shifting sound, those with at least 300 senses can pinpoint the actual location of the sound.
Spiegeln (Reflect) - By sending her reiatsu into a reflection, she can clone herself (up to 2 times) Once cloned, each one counts as Sirius. There is no distinction between the duplicates and the original. If the original is nullified or destroyed, the other will not be put out of commission. All Sirius' share eyesight with one another. Though there is a post limit for how many Sirius’ can be active at a time. Which is 5 posts. After that time limit, any multiples of Sirius will fade away. This technique costs 300 for each clone made. All Sirius' share the same reiatsu pool.
Cost: 300
Disadvantage/Weakness: Though divided, each clone takes 1/3rd of the damage that was done to the other if three Sirius’s are active. 1/2 if only two are active, making Sirius rather susceptible to area of effect techniques. If one clone is active, the duo have a 10% reduction to their OS but does not affect their reiatsu pool. If 2 are out, the trio has a 20% reduction.
Birthplace: Karakura town, Japan
Current Residence: Karakura town
Memorable Figures: Granny, Kyo, Boss.
History:
The one who bore Noir was that of a woman named Nami Shepādo, a beautiful woman of German and Japanese descent born alongside her twin brother, Nagi Shepādo at the tail end of the second world war. Though seemingly human, the twins were far from it. They were Bounts, beings created through an experiment gone wrong. Those in the human world would call them a vampire, a monster of the night who sucked the blood of the innocents. Though twins, they weren’t all the same. Nagi hunted to survive while Nami had an insatiable hunger for it. Too many close calls ended the two’s companionship. That and a rather bloody fight.
After years by herself, Nami slowly had become tired of her lone hunting life and wanted something more; something more tangible but she didn’t understand what was missing. That was until she crossed paths with Akimitsu Ishii, who seemed to be a run of the mill salaryman. To her, he was anything but. The two quickly became enamored with one another. Nami slowly became less of a hunter and more of a regular woman. He opened her eyes to a whole different perspective of the world and she loved him dearly for it. She even slowly reconciled with her brother who had founded his own Yakuza clan; The Shepādo Clan, taking residence in Karakura Town.
Her doll; the sentient weapons of bounts was not as smitten with this new way of life. He desired the thrill of the hunt and a good fight. Settling down was quickly ending all that. In his eyes, his master was becoming weak. The two barely spoke of feelings, usually sporting in the euphoria of bloodshed. Without it, their connection was severing. When he gathered that she became pregnant, this enraged the doll. Though not much could be done, for she didn’t send him out unless it was for protection.
When it was decided that she would give birth at home. Akimitsu called his sister, Hana Ishii, who was a certified midwife. Nami summoned her doll for protection. The last thing she wanted was something to go wrong. In doing so, is what decided her fate. For when she was at her happiest and weakest, that is when her doll decided to enact his rage upon his master. He sunk his fury at Akimitsu first, tearing the new father apart and killing him. He then brought his revenge to the midwife, leaving her seriously wounded. Then to the woman who betrayed him, fatally wounding her. With Nami bleeding out, the doll set his eyes on the crying baby. Before he was allowed to lay the silencing blow, Nami took her last breath leaving the doll to die. This left, Noir giving out his first cries amongst the dead of his family.
The scene was later found an hour later from a neighbor who complained about strange sounds coming from the house. Noir was found by the police and brought into foster care. Sadly Noir found himself raised in a foster home until someone would take him in but fate is a cruel thing and Noir lived his childhood life with no actual parent but the old caretaker of the house who liked to be called Granny. Granny was a very strict woman.
In the household Noir and the other children were expected to do chores, go to bed at a certain time, etc. It was rather strict to say the least. Noir was constantly teased by the other boys, called a freak for those of who learned of his birth. From this he was never adopted by desiring couples wanting to start a family. At a young age, he had taken notice of things others couldn’t see, people with chains attached to their chests. At first they scared the boy, leaving him to avert his eyes from their existence.
One day when he was around 12 years of age, a spirit of a boy and Noir locked eyes leaving both to freeze. This brought the chained chest boy straight to Noir who bounced in happiness at the excitement of being seen. The boy was named Kyo and acted more happy than most spirits he had seen before. Slowly the two had begun to meet regularly and Noir found himself actually happy now that he had a friend finally. One day when Noir went out to play, he caught sight of a beast with a mask of white headed straight towards Kyo and before Noir could even give a warning of the attacker, it was too late.
In a split second, the young spirit was swallowed whole and then it’s attention ran right onto Noir himself. Golden eyes within a white mask narrowed upon him and let out a harrowing shriek, Noir closed his eyes as he awaited to be next then in a flash it was cut down by a black robed figure with a katana. The figure seemed to be disappointed as if he had meant to be there sooner. Noir simply watched as the figure cleaned off his blade before returning it to his sheath and vanished like he was never there to begin with. From that day forward, Noir ignored the spirits, hoping never be caught up in a mess like that again.
Most nights he had found himself having nightmares. Sometimes he’d wake up with a wet bed and get a whooping from Granny and teased by the other boys. Finding himself to be the black sheep of the household, his teenage years he acted out. He’d skip out on his studies and smoke on the top of the schoolhouse. High school was a bit better for him honestly, people treated him with a little more respect though it seemed more on lines that they feared him. He’d get in a bunch of fights, come to school high and a few times he found himself almost kicked of school and home both.
He acted like he didn’t bother him but it really did. He didn’t have a place to go if he had to leave the foster home honestly and if he got kicked out of school, he wouldn’t have much of chance for work with his background so treading through the rest of school through the skin of his teeth was all he really could do. When he graduated, he was immediately kicked out of the foster home. Granny had enough of his sorry ass and had little to no faith in him that he would find a job or go to college. Swiftly this brought Noir through desperation.
When Noir was down on his out of his luck in a bar, a man came to him and tossed a lighter on the table saying it was Noir’s mother’s. The man was a yakuza member, and his uncle. He offered the boy a job. From that day forward, he worked, doing shady jobs such as stealing, black mailing, collecting bribes, etc for the man and got a little shabby apartment for his work. He’d still go out drinking, smoke, get high, get into bar fights, etc. It seemed like his life was finally looking bright.
), but not people. I would make it a set time limit no matter the OS, with the amount of time going up and down. Perhaps three posts at equal OS, two at lower OS, and five at greater OS. Also the Skill requirements are way too high - lower it to 3/2 at very least.
