Noah Nocturne

"Y-Yeah, well, I'm Noah Nocturne! The Gnome of Nazir, The Son of Nekrokanus and the guy whose gonna beat you!"

- Noah Nocturne after getting confronted by Azta Kehl

"Thank you for coming, everyone. It means more to me then you can believe. You know, when I was training at the temples, taking part in quest across the various realms, my fellow monks -- my former fellow monks told me that if I ever become a Grandmaster, then I would know that the fate of a single person; or even a single planet is irrelevant in the infinite cosmos and should be sacrificed for the greater good. Now, as a Grandmaster, I know that is a load of bullcrap! I will do everything in my power to fight for the people, and the planet that I love!"

- Noah at a ceremony honoring him becoming a Grandmaster

Personality
Noah Nocturne (Born: 242 AE) is a member of the Nocturne household and sole son to the infamous "Lord Nocturne", a now semi-reformed former warlord who struck terror in the lands of Amenia. Unlike his father, Noah is a gentle, if impatient soul, with scholarly ambitions. In an attempt to separate himself from his rather infamous family, Noah attempts to compose himself in a very calm and collected manner, though despite this, Noah handles stress quite poorly and can totally freak out during huge events.

Although Noah tends to prefer the company of himself, and despite his sometimes less-than-stellar regressed thoughts on his siblings, Noah is quite close to his sisters, especially his two twins, Noelle and Naria Nocturne. In fact, Noah has been teased by both various kids and even his own family for picking up a few feminine habits from them.

Noah is also surprisingly brave, going great lengths to protect those close to him, and even those who aren't. While he's not exactly "heroic" (in the sense of being courageous and dignified), Noah has his moments of true heroism, such as stopping Keh Nebula from destroying Nazir, albeit through unconventional means. He does have a just heart and will do what he believes is right, even if the goal he's trying to achieve is simply out of his range of abilities. These traits eventually earn him and the Nocturne Household the respect of the people of Nazir.

One of the more impressive traits Noah has is his impressive work ethic. While he may not be the strongest, fastest, bravest or even smartest of his family, he strides to become an impressive wizard in his own right. Always trying to enhance his spellcraft, Noah is specialized, or attempting to become specialized in the arts of "Mind Magic", Magic that more focuses on using ones own mind to manipulate the placement of objects, peoples thoughts, memories and so on.

As time went on, Noah's many insecurities about his somewhat feminine personality or his unpopular household began to die down tremendously. Noah became more confident, sociable and accepting of his families "quirks" and became closer to them because of it. As a young adult, Noah traveled to a temple deep in Thega were he, at first, wanted to study the arts of ancient Vilzonian wizardry, but would later find himself training to become a Grandmaster. After some years, Noah and his best friend, Toma were both picked to become Grandmasters due to their exceptional, but humble skills and kind hearts.

History
Born in the "Kingdom of love era" of Amenian History, Noah was a half human, half vampire wh was raised in the small village of Nazir and was the sole son of Lord Nocturne. Noah was also among the youngest of his large family of sisters, only being older than Naria Nocturne, Noelle Nocturne and Nadia Nocturne, and even then, Noah, Naria and Noelle were twins born within minutes of each other. One day around a month after his 11th birthday, he and his two twins walking back from school when they noticed a poster on the side of a building advertising some sort of Tournament, with the victor gaining 100,000 Yenma [Valley of Kingdoms Currency]. Excited, Noelle and Naria (and by extension, a forced Noah) immediately signed up for the tournament. After telling the rest of the family, nearly everyone in the household signed up as well.

A week went by and the "Grand Tournament" started. In the first round, Noah faced off against a girl around his age named "Zenma Illadon". Zenma was a girl of Scrath descent and was the daughter of Videon Illadon, one of the most famous generals in all of Amenia. Zenma was a tough opponent, with nearly everyone one of her spells being as if it was her "magnum opus" of sorts. Eventually, Noah managed to defeat her by negating and reversing one of her attacks. Afterwards, the two became good friends with Zenma becoming like family to the Nocturne household.

The following day, Noah was deemed to fight "Dirty Dog Dickson", a bandit from Uano who was known for using trickery and, well, dirty tricks in his bouts. While not nearly as powerful as Zenma, Dirty Dog Dickson proved to be a comparably difficult fight due to his vast array of maneuvers and distracting spells. Throughout the fight, Noah had to take a purely defensive approach. He eventually came to the conclusion that Dirty Dog had almost no guard, that he was simply trying to overwhelm Noah from afar and that closing the distance could land him the victory. He was correct in this assumption and defeated Dirty Dog with a well placed Mana Surge.

In the semi-final day, Noah was called to fight Videon Illadon, the father of Zenma Illadon. oah expected Videon to be crazy angry at him for defeating his daughter, but much to his surprise, Videon was quite proud of Noah even though he didn't really know him. Despite this, Videon threw everything he had to Noah as soon as the fight started, and Noah gave it his all likewise. While Noah was obviously outmatched in strength, skill and just about everything he had. The fight was long and drawn out. Videon never gave Noah a break, and so what little time Noah had to analyze Videons style was beyond valuable. After some time, Noah realized that the helmet that Videon was wielding gave him a blind spot. A blind spot Noah could abuse. After Videon attempted to bullrush Noah, he dodged and this evasion gave Noah just the amount of time he need to send a kick hurdling towards Videon, sending him back. Back beyond the stage limits, giving Noah the victory. Videon was kicking himself for letting his guard down and underestimating Noah, but was proud of him all the same. To say Zenma or his sisters were proud of Noah was an understatement.

Noah was surprised to see that he had to face off against his younger twin sister, Noelle in the finals. Noelle was always stronger and especially swifter than Noah. She was a martial arts enthusiast. A real hard hitter who was almost impossible to hit back. Still, both siblings had a vow to give it their all and not at all holding back for the sake of the other. After a long and grueling battle, Noelle Nocturne was deemed the victor, but only barely. Noah very nearly won, but was just barely beat out by Noelle.

Attack Potency: Mountain level (Managed to psychically contend with Videon "The Monolith" Illadon, who was regarded as one of the greatest soldiers in all of Sanguine and could pulverize mountains with serious strikes. Stronger than Dirty Dog Dickson, who could atomize small mountains. Comparable to Noelle, who accidentally destroyed an entire temple complex) | Small Country level (Roughly comparable to Zemia Illadon, who accidentally sunk many small islands with her Spells. Clashed with Kowl, who managed to wound the Mother Yorn Dragon, who could destroy countries) | Moon level (Matched swords with Azta Kehl, who nearly destroyed all of Amenia with his battle against Ashe. He, along all of his siblings were stated to be as strong as their father. Has a somewhat one-sided rivalry with Toma Jawol, who defeated Sigmound, who had absorbed the mana of all 13 Moons that orbit Amenia) | Solar System level (As a Grandmaster, Noah is among the strongest wizards in all of Amenia and completely dwarfs the Immortal Knights like Wilhem and Castial, who destroyed realms containing stars. Contributed to the destruction of the Esuolution, a being much larger than the entire Guldan Star System)

Speed: Supersonic (Like most Wizards, Noah is capable of dodging spells, which move at speeds slightly exceeding that of Sound itself) | Massively Hypersonic (Kept pace with Kowl, who is on par with Mona, who dodged natural lightning) | Massively Hypersonic+ (Managed to keep up with Azta, but struggled to match him blow for blow) | FTL (Comparable to other Grandmasters, who can move "in tune" with light itself, and can amp there speed to higher degrees)

Lifting Strength: Superhuman (Nocturne family members are stronger than normal humans in terms of brute strength by a considerable; and arguably superhuman degree. Managed to haul a bag that contained a huge amount of gear used by all of his sisters, without much issue) | Class M via power-scaling (Almost as strong as Noelle Nocturne, who, with great effort, can lift massive stone structures roughly the size of buildings) | Class G (The combined strength of the entire Nocturne household; sans Lord Nocturne and Naijir Nocturne; managed to overpower an attack that could blow away Mountains) | Class Y (Can lift an Elucidian Orb, which contains a full sized Realm within it)

Almost equal to Kowl and Toma) | Class XJ (Stated to be as strong as his father, who could destroy the 13 Moons of Amenia) | Class XMJ+ (Destroyed a realm with his bout with an avatar of Ebon, pierced the body of a lesser avatar of Michael, who tanked an explosion that destroyed a good portion of the Guldan Star system). Class XPJ when amped (Somewhat hurt Gon, who had no-sold an attack from Toma's strongest spell [Cosmic Cataclysm], which nearly collapsed the Mirror Dimension, a Realm that contains a parallel version of the Guldan Star system)

Durability: Mountain level (Tanked a blast from Zemia, another one of her blast sunk a small island by accident. Took blows from Dirty Dog Dickson and Videon) | Small Country level (Hurt Kowl, who resited an attack that could wipe out countries) | Moon level (Took a direct blow from Azta Kehl, and while he was injured, he was in good enough condition to get back up and take another) | Solar System level (Was at the epicenter of an attack that was able to destroy entire Realms. Tanked hits from Gon and Ebon, both of which were on the same level as Grandmasters; with Ebon possibly even surpassing them)

Stamina: Superhuman during the Grand Tournament. (Managed to fight Giluwan to the point of making him stagger) | Superhuman, Virtually Limitless with certain charm spells [Tend to last up to 3 days; often forces the user to "crash" afterwards; depending on how much force the user exerts during those days, they may very well die of exhaustion by the "crash"] | Superhuman, Virtually Limitless with certain charm spells [Same penalties apply] | Virtually Limitless (Grandmasters have access to a spell called "Takyon", which essentially "refreshes" their body and mind, giving the user essentially limitless stamina, though if the spell last to long, then their body can become permanently damaged in varying, but often severe ways)

Range: Varies on the spell. Townwide with most spells ("Ire Storm" creates a huge thunderstorm, "Mana Surge" can affect entire villages. "Primitive Rage" can trigger townwide earthquakes). Citywide with basic Water Magic ("Lagoon Flow" can create massive rivers and lakes and Aquatic Grave can flood entire cities). Countrywide with basic Earth Magic (Most spells can manipulate Continental Crust to an extent. His spell "Riptide" was stated to able to sink entire islands and countries. Has the spell "Disaster Opus" which caused storms over the entirety of the Valley of Kingdoms when cast by Mirith. Continental with advanced Earth Magic (Has access to the spells used by a Pre-Vilzonian civilization, who moved entire continents). Planetary with advanced Water Magic ("New World" has the power to flood the entire planet); Eldritch Spells can go up to Universal to Universal+ but are illegal ("Curse of Ulrich" creates a Universal storm that eventually swallows the Universe. An Unnamed Spell used by an Unknown Cult can trigger Big Bangs, creating an unknown number of new timelines. Another unnamed spell used by Cult Leader Alduris was going to tear apart the very fabric of the universe, causing it to collapse in on itself)

Intelligence: During the events of the original writings (Volumes 1-3), Noah was very smart for his age. Spending most of his free time studying and improving magic alongside his older sister, Nicole. Noah was very analytical and could spot patterns in nearly anything if he put his mind to it. While this was initially used for basic puzzle solving and understanding the more vague points in Amenian history, Noah would find this skill invaluable during the Grand Tournament and other situations were he was forced to duke it out. In terms of combat, Noah isn't exactly a fighter but has learned how to counter fighting styles and techniques by employing defensive tactics. Ironically, Noah has a bad habit of overlooking simple solutions in favor of complex ones.

While Noah's fighting skill itself isn't very impressive, he isn't defensive if his defensive tactics fail. His magic, while mostly used for more practical activities can be used in an offensive means, such as slowing and reversing enemy spells, slowing enemies in general or even outright tossing them. After the tournament, Noah picked up some more "practical" offensive spells from Naria such as Fire, Water and Earth skills. On top of his magic, Noah is a decent hand to hand combatant whose picked up "a few" tricks from Noelle and Nessia.

Work in Progress

Weaknesses: As mentioned before, sometimes he'll overlook an obvious solution in plain sight. Most of his spells aren't necessarily for combat purposes. Loud noises are particularly effective against him due to his vampiric heritage.
