Abilities: As a Noctis, Actaeon possesses extraordinary strength and speed as well as a deep resevoir of stamina. Also he has a superior sense of smell and hearing compared to humans, which makes it easier for him to track his prey. Of course as a hunter, he is able to also follow the tracks of his prey. His claws and teeth are sharper than most blades and can even shred metal into pieces. Even his fur could be compared to high grade armor that even tempered blades and bullets will have trouble damaging him.

Another notable trait though is his intelligence. He is able to reason and learn just like a human being. In fact, he may actually be much more intelligent than most humans. Complex concepts come to him fast and he is quick to think on the fly. His intelligence gave him the ability of creating weapons and gadgets so if he ever needs to quickly make a weapon he may be able to create a crude weapon from whatever he finds in his surroundings. 

Actaeon is a master marksman and his main weapon of choice is his composite bow. He can shoot from far distances with deadly precision and strength, making it troublesome for foes that can only make use of close combat. However when the situation call for it, he will subsitute his bow and arrows for knives. 

Even without his weapons and bag of tricks, it should not be thought that Actaeon is a slouch at hand-to-hand combat. He uses his speed and nimbleness for quick strikes and uses his claws to shred his opponents though even without his claws his blows feel like getting hit by a truck. 

However his greatest strength is his innate understanding and use of qi, the life force of the world. With qi, he can erase his presence and go unnoticed as he sneaks around to observe his targets. Since all living beings have qi or some form of energy, he is able to feel the presence and know the exact locations of his targets unless they too can erase their presence. 

In terms of combatical uses of qi, Actaeon can use it to harden objects to increase their durability and destructiveness. This is particularly useful when Actaeon decides to use his bow and arrows for combat so his arrows won't snap like twigs and pierce harder materials. This can also be applied to his body, hardening his flesh as to protect his body and withstand punishment. 

Fighting Style: Actaeon's fighting style shifts depending on the situation. Preferably, he lays out various traps for his prey and fight them at a distance using his arrows. It is typical of him to use his surroundings to his advantage and often will erase his presence so that it is harder to pinpoint him. This too is a mind game; letting his foes get caught up in their emotions and paranoia and let them exhaust themselves until they are no longer able to fight and become easy pickings.

However, if Actaeon is ever forced into a situation where hand-to-hand combat was involved, he will fight though he is never the first to strike since that runs the risk of being countered by an opponent he's never faced before. Even though this is no longer a long distance fights, he will still use his bag of goodies to gain the upper hand, such as his smoke bombs and mini-bombs. Though even without his weapons, he is a capable combatant that utilizes quick and hard strikes while using his claws to shear through his foes.

Bio: 
	There is a reason why Noctis are known as the Dessert's Omens; whoever encounters a single Noctis will die a horrible death. You see, if a person locks eyes with a Noctis then that particular Noctis will not kill them immidiately. A Noctis will stalk its prey everyday at every moment, letting it run away from it and just when they think they've finally escaped its grasp it will be standing right there and then the cycle will begin all over again until its prey dies from exhaustion. Noctis do not need to do this; their physical abilities make them the top predators of the region. They just find it fun. 
	Then there came rumors of a Noctis wearing clothing and ornate items. No one believed the rumors and they paid the price. This Noctis acted different than the others of its species; it laid out traps for people to fall for and it seemed to understand what they were saying. Then the stories got crazier! Some claimed that the Noctis could talk, some said it could use martial arts, and some claimed they saw it hunt its own kind. 
	No matter what was false and what was true, there was one thing they all could agree on: that this beast, Actaeon, was the Apex Hunter. 
	

Personality: Despite his gastly appearance, he is actually quite the intelligent gentleman and very well read. He is a surprisingly social creature though was an outcast of society because he was unlike the other Noctis and humans feared his species. He loathed his species for rejecting him and felt disconnected from the rest of the world as humans began to spread rumors about him being a violent, evil monster. All he ever wanted was companionship and to be understood. 

Wish: To be loved.

Echo: The inside of a dark sandy tomb with many twisting pathways.

Frenzy: Actaeon's body will bulk up in size, drastically increasing his speed and strength beyond his limits. However what is more concerning is that his calm mind is overwhelmed by the natural ferral, violent nature that of a Noctis. Any reasoning with him in this form is impossible as the only thing going through his mind is to kill.
