HAIR COLOR/STYLE

dark brown, almost black, noah's hair is what his mother likes to describe as a 'wild mess'. sticking up in all directions, his short hairstyle has a mind of it's own and is impossible to control, especially when it matters most.

EYE COLOR

like his hair, his deep-set eyes are a perfect combination of deep brown and black. dark throughout save for a light hazel circle that surrounds his pupil, they can be somewhat disconcerting at times, but nice to look at nonetheless.

BODY TYPE

standing just over six feet, noah spends a good amount of time caring for his body. most days after school he can be found training in the swordsmanship arena, or off-campus at the gym. however, that does not mean he's obsessed with making sure he's fit, he simply puts his boredom with school to good use.

FACIAL FEATURES

noah never cared much about his looks, but his mother always tended to pick out the things she thought were cute, and pretend he'd gotten them from her. like his heart shaped face, for example, or the fact that his forehead was slightly too big, and the fact that his nose was just a tad crooked.

CLOTHING STYLE

preferring comfort to style, noah is most commonly seen in a worn pair of jeans and loose-fitting shirts, while on weekends he opts for track pants and sweaters. as a football player, he's never been the type to enjoy formal events, seeing as he has trouble finding suits that fit his body, but should the occasion arise, the suits he can find tend to be very simple.

ADVANTAGES

respectful - though he can seem like a frigid bitch at times, he would never treat someone as though they were beneath him.
reserved - he keeps his opinions (bad, and good) to himself as he doesn't like to enter conflict unless absolutely necessary.
controlled - unless provoked to extremes, noah is quite good at keeping his emotions neutral.
humorous - though reserved, he's still light-humored and can crack a good joke when the situation calls for it.

DISADVANTAGES

judgmental - he may respect everyone, but that doesn't mean he isn't judging them; he's quick to rely on first impressions.
sarcastic - he tends to use sarcasm as a tool to keep people from getting to close to him.
reserved - a blessing, and a curse; he tends to keep things bottled up, and when he finally 'snaps', it tends to be a shit-storm of arm gesturing and frantic shouting.
self-conscious - he may seem confident, but he's just as unsure about himself as the next person.

PERSONALITY

noah has a tendency to treat things lightly, unless it has to do with someone he genuinely cares about. he's loyal and caring when it comes to others problems, but if he doesn't know them, he won't show them any sympathy. he isn't the type to trust easily, and doesn't let others in easily.

his annoyances are the type of people that believe everything can be handed to them, that have little to no respect for others, and lie simply to get attention. he doesn't have much patient for liars, and if he finds himself caught in a situation where he has to deal with unnecessary drama, he'll get himself out of it as quickly as possible.

besides his issues, noah is a likeable person. he likes to joke around and take risks, it just takes him time to warm up to the idea of letting his walls down and just having fun. when someone finally gets close to him, he takes full advantage of the fact that he's eighteen and irresponsible and does whatever the fuck he feels like.

HISTORY

noah, unlike some demigods, knew next to nothing about his birth parents. what he'd assumed growing up (from stories of his adoptive mother, and from the adoption agency which he'd been been given to), was that his mother had been knocked up by a righteous asshole, then quickly abandoned. of course, the poor woman couldn't handle the stress of having a child, so she gave him up.

in all honesty, the fact that he'd been adopted had never bothered him. the only time he had ever become suspicious of his parental history was the middle of grade school, when he realized could shock people simply by touching them, and make the weather change at will depending on his mood. naturally, he'd been terrified at first, but after hiding up in his room for hours, testing his abilities, he'd learned to control them - to an extent - and kept them a secret from his mother.

hiding it was a struggle for noah, as he quickly became paranoid and ashamed of what he could do. he quickly learned to repress his feelings, and mastered the art of controlling his emotions. his inability to give a rat's ass, as his mother liked to call it, escalated to the point where he was failing most, if not all, his classes, and had resorted to popping pills.

by the time high school rolled around, noah's relationship with his mother had deteriorated to the point of absolute minimal conversation. she'd forced him through therapy session after therapy session, and when nothing seemed to work, and she'd been on the brink of giving up on him, she'd received a rather interesting letter in the mail.

being confronted by his mother about being a demigod had been a moment of relief, but complete horror. their reactions should have been reversed, seeing as noah knew there was something wrong with him, but it was his mother that had been so accepting of the idea. it had taken her weeks to even convince him to look at the pamphlet, let alone even consider going to thaedeus, but after hours of poking, and convincing, he'd agreed to pack up and go.

he was skeptical at first upon arriving at the school, but once he's submerged himself in the day-to-day activities, and realized he wasn't the only person with a problem, he began to get himself back on track. tossing the pills and joining the football team, noah slowly eased his way into life as a demigod, and quickly found his niche as a social 'floater', preferring to mingle with the unnaturals and and nymphs as if there was nothing wrong.

his reserved nature still stands, but over the process of discovering what - and who - he is, noah has learned to loosen up some, as well as re-build a healthy relationship with his mother, whom he visits every summer.
