[COLOR=gray]A lot of Cassander's motivations are hinged on eliminating the feeling of helplessness and gaining control over his life. He's been bounced from foster home to foster home, been victim to assault and molestation at the hands of the people who were sworn to protect him, and failed to protect someone he swore to watch out for. Before life with the Jones, Cassander had never known what it was like to not only feel safe, but also cared for and even loved. He's determined to hold onto these things, even with his newfound status as a Hyperhuman. Knowing how much it would mean to Alexis that he does well at P.R.C.U., Cassander is determined to prove himself and leverage a better life not only for him but those like him.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=gray]For Cassander, there's a lot to be said about getting control over his life and P.R.C.U. while regimented, also offers him an avenue to that independence he craves. Furthermore, through the institute, Cass stands a chance of finally gaining an upper hand, both in the benefits brought by a full education and also the training that is given by P.R.C.U. While he hasn't had a lot of opportunity to think towards his future, nor previously afforded the luxury of an environment where he could truly see himself getting the education to become something, Cassander has allowed himself to actually dream and has been eyeing a career with H.E.L.P. either in their Critical Incident Response Group or in the Training Division to help make other Hyperhumans' dreams come true too.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=GRAY][indent]Cassander was born to the wrong parents at the wrong time. A Hyperhuman father and a mundane mother, they struggled to make ends meet and more than often only put food on the table due to collecting a combination of monthly welfare cheques and unemployment insurance. It didn't take long before a young Cassander was taken from his parents by child services and put into the foster system. 

Eventually growing beyond the years of being desirable for adoption, Cassander continued to move from house to house until he eventually found himself in the care of Calvin and Alexis Jones. It was an odd placement as Cassander left not only Ontario but also Canada behind and moved to the Jones' house in Crestwood Hollow, New Hampshire. But after years of neglect and abuse, it was a shock to the system to be welcomed into an actual warm and caring environment. 

Fortunately for Cassander, this also meant that the Jones not only knew exactly what to do when his abilities developed but knew who to call. Despite Cass' abilities developing later due to a vaccine injection during the pandemic, they still managed to explode into his life in a very literal way. Contacting her brother at P.R.C.U., Alexis and her husband Calvin were sad to part with Cassander but happy to be sending him to a place where he'd not only be welcomed but finally find a purpose.[/indent][/COLOR][INDENT][sub][sup][h3][b][color=black] [color=2c2c2c]▅[/color]   [sub]D E T A I L E D   A P P E A R A N C E[/sub][/color]

[COLOR=GRAY][indent]Standing just shy of six feet, Cassander is a slender boy in relatively good health. Sporting a lean, athletic build, his stern features hide the fact that he has an actual charming smile when he allows himself to soften. Green, bordering on hazel eyes, sit beneath a tousled mess of often quickly combed blonde hair. Hardly known for a sense of style, when not in uniform, Cass prefers to dress comfortably, often in looser fitting, or baggy clothing that doesn't restrict his movement, although never so loose as to entangle or snare on objects around him. Prior to coming to P.R.C.U., Cassander had very few truly personal items and had only just recently begun to collect an actual wardrobe. His most treasured item is a leather jacket passed down to him from his foster father, Calvin, as a parting gift.

Fair-skinned, Cass' face is relatively unmarred, not sporting any visible blemishes or scars. His back and torso however bear the signs of the years of abuse under different foster families that fell so far below the bar set by the Joneses that Cassander couldn't comprehend they were providing the same service. His chest sports a particularly nasty scar from a cigar being extinguished on it, while his back bears the tell-tale marks of a belt whipping. His forearms and hands likewise show similar scarring, though as they were more visible, these tended to be subjected to less abuse and thus are more faded.[/indent][/COLOR][INDENT][sub][sup][h3][b][color=black] [color=2c2c2c]▅[/color]   [sub]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/sub][/color]

[COLOR=GRAY][indent]Often cold upon first meeting, Cassander is the type of person who first and foremost likes to keep people at arm's length out of fear of being hurt, whether by his trust being betrayed or by abandonment. Very far from a 'touchy-feely' person, Cass would prefer to simply greet friends with a simple nod or verbal salutation. He's very reluctant to shake hands or exchange fist bumps and if a hug is attempted, Cass does everything he can to avoid or escape the embrace. This dislike of touching further extends to being tapped or touched anywhere and doing so can often be met with an explosive temperament if Cass is caught off guard.

That all said, behind his walls, Cassander is a friendly and devoted protector. Those he chooses to call friends will never have to ask twice for a favour and he will always be the first to offer them a hand whether they want it or not. Despite his scars, Cassander truly just wants to have a safe group of people he can finally call his family, which is something he never thought he could have before living with the Jones. 

Romance is not at the front of Cass' mind and while he's not oblivious to the idea, he's more likely to have love find him than to go chasing it. The idea of being a boyfriend or even a husband is such a distant concept, he's never dwelt on it. Instead, he lived most of his life just trying not to become his biological parents and to that end was initially decimated to learn he was a Hyperhuman and therefore unable to rise above being an 'undesirable', at least until Alexis changed his perspective.

Now Cassander wants to fight to champion for further equality for Hyperhumans so that none of them ever have to feel like outsiders and so they all can feel the sense of belonging that he has strived so hard to find.[/indent][/COLOR][INDENT][sub][sup][h3][b][color=black] [color=2c2c2c]▅[/color]   [sub]A B I L I T I E S,   L I M I T A T I O N S,   &   W E A K N E S S E S[/sub][/color]

[SUB][COLOR=2C2C2C]__[/COLOR][color=#798bab][b]SECONDARY CLASSIFICATION[/b]	||[/COLOR]   EXPULSIVE[/SUB]

[INDENT]Cassander has the ability to expel his stored HZEs in either pyrotechnic displays or concentrated orbs of charged photokinetic energy which explode with concussive force relative to their size. Known as volatile force manipulation, Cassander is able to use his ability for several different applications. 

The primary application of his ability is to create explosive orbs of energy, which can fluctuate in either size or potency pending Cass' design. Cassander can create small explosives, which have a more targeted range although concentrating more force into a smaller range can be taxing. Conversely, Cass is also able to expand the size of the explosion, though a larger, and especially more potent orb would exhaust his stores that much faster. Primarily, Cassander uses his ability to create ping-pong ball-sized explosives which only pack moderate force. It is important to note, that Cassander's explosive abilities are only concussive, not packing heat or any form of shrapnel like a typical bomb.

While in most offensive situations, Cassander's orbs explode upon contact, he is capable of delaying the explosion, although doing so requires concentration and therefore delaying multiple orbs is a struggle. Furthermore, orbs that have been charged with more force are more volatile and therefore require far more willpower on Cass' part to delay. When charged with higher force, Cass' orbs tend to intensify in colour, moving from a pale cyan into violet before changing to red and at their highest potency, a brilliant orange.  

Other applications of his abilities allow Cassander to instead create illumination and produce an orb solely of glowing energy. This technique can be adapted to become a flare or otherwise signal, used for distraction, or when combined with a low amount of concussive force, create a flashbang. As Cass is capable of pyrotechnic displays, the colour of these illuminations can be changed to suit his fancy, although his default colour is always a bright cyan.[/indent]

[INDENT]Like all Esoteric Hyperhumans, Cassander's capability to use his ability is finite. Though he's never been pushed past his limits before, the first time he create an explosion, it was large enough to decimate a small house and left Cassander nearly unable to walk. Furthermore, Cass has no immunity to the blast of his own explosives, and therefore in short to medium range, the use of his abilities is questionable, if not suicidal. 

Controlling his explosives is another struggle. Cass has likened producing an orb a lot like blowing up a balloon, it's hard to start, but once you do, it's easy to let it get away from you. It's not uncommon for Cassander to either overinflate the size of an orb or prematurely loose it towards a target. Worse still is having one blow up in his face, sending Cass flying backward or worse. It should also be noted that there is a burning sensation associated with the use of his abilities, and repeated use can lead to first or even second-degree burns. Pushed to the limit, Cassander's hands would likely suffer third-degree burns if not permanent disfiguration.

In terms of hard limits, H.E.L.P. estimates that at maximum power, Cassander could produce an explosion capable of levelling the campus. Doing so would, however, likely kill him. In more practical limits, with training, Cassander will be able to regularly produce explosives with a maximum concussive force of approximately 160,000 psi. This translates to being able to punch through high-carbon steel or blast-resistant barriers.[/indent]

[INDENT]Beyond the standard weakness to electron beam irradiation that all Hyperhumans share, Cassander has no significant 'kryptonite'. That said, his abilities do not grant him any defensive boons making him a glass cannon. He's still susceptible to any and all conventional forms of harm or disease in addition to those that come with being a Hyperhuman. Likewise, his abilities do not grant Cass any additional physicalities, meaning he's no faster, stronger nor has any more stamina than that of a healthy human.

Cassander can not control the delay on an explosive that he cannot see, and likewise being disorientated or otherwise mentally fatigued or compromised make his abilities near impossible and again, potentially suicidal, to use. Lastly, as previously stated, Cassander is not immune to his own abilities, and they can be turned back on him, or he can harm himself from overuse.[/indent][/INDENT][/COLOR][INDENT][sub][sup][h3][b][color=black] [color=2c2c2c]▅[/color]   [sub]S K I L L S   &   T A L E N T S[/sub][/color]

[INDENT]You don't go through the foster system without learning how to take a punch and Cassander can take more than a few. Having been picked on by kids twice his size and abused more times than he's able to talk openly about, Cass has learned how to take a hit, not to mention return it without ever once lobbing a crackling ball of concussive energy at someone. Some days he prefers the feeling of aching knuckles to the satisfaction of watching someone fly from his abilities.[/indent]

[INDENT]While in high school, Cass worked over the summers with his foster father, Calvin who was a general contractor in Crestwood Hollow. During the four summers he apprenticed under Calvin, Cass was exposed to several trades including carpentry, plumbing and electrical work. Though by no means a master of every field, Calvin knows his way around a set of tools and possesses the knowledge and base skills to renovate a house.[/indent]

[INDENT]While not the most useful skill now that he's able to explode the lock, Cassander grew up being locked into dingy bedrooms, closets and even a few basements. He got pretty good at maneuvering a lock open with nothing but a bobby pin and a pen knife.[/indent]

[INDENT]A natural athlete, Cassander has been able to retain decent muscle mass for most of his teenage years despite fluctuating diets and living conditions prior to moving in with the Jones. Thanks to encouragement from Calvin, he began doing track and field in highschool and quickly found that he had a natural athleticism that has continued to serve him well at P.R.C.U.[/indent]

[INDENT]While he's not about to enter American Idol or The Voice, Cassander has naturally good tone and pitch which shows both in his speak and, if you can catch it, his singing. Though shy and not a performer, Cass has been known to sing while showering, working out and quietly to himself while walking across campus. A comfort habit, he's a big fan of 'Dad Rock' and classic hair bands. His renditions of 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and 'Cherry Pie' are enough to make a grown man cry.[/indent][/indent][/COLOR]

[indent]All too quickly, Cassander was teleported back into the body of a scared little boy, his eyes opening to the sound of the bedroom door creaking open. One of the other boys was slowly limping inside, one hand leaning on the doorframe while the other was behind his back, tightly clutching the waist of his pajama bottoms. Cassander could feel himself wince, burying himself deeper into the thin mattress, the aging springs digging into his side as he brought his knees to his chest. Fresh bruises throbbed from where Eric's knuckles had impacted with his cheek, ribs and behind. All too often the boys suffered at the hands of their court-appointed guardian, and those were the nights when he wasn't drinking. The nights he was drinking, you prayed for the knuckles.

And it was far worse for the girls.

[color=#8aaceb]"I have to take a leak."[/color] Cassander groaned returning to the present before rolling over on his mattress. Cold clung to his naked back, a side effect of the recurring nightmares. His bare feet hit the cold floor reinforcing the shiver already climbing his spine. Despite the surplus of caffeine currently coursing through his body, the teenager had never been a particularly heavy sleeper. A necessity to survive moving from foster home to foster home. A heavy sleeper was a sure victim, especially in houses run by degenerates like Eric who saw fostering as an opportunity to get paid and feed their sick appetites. Even behind the safety of Pacific Royal and the island's impressive defenses, Cass knew he could never risk letting his guard down again.

And that would only mean more sleepless nights.[/indent]

[indent]The tears streamed down the girl's face as she cried for help, running out of the darkness towards Cassander. His shoulders flinched, stiffening as her cries pierced his ears. From across the street, Cassander watched a man step out of the dark alley, walking briskly in pursuit of the girl. His unkempt hair hung in touseled strands down past his shoulders while a thick matted beard covered his neck. 

Dirt covered the young girl's face, a tattered dress covering her frail body as she flung herself at Cassander's feet. The young man took a step forward, putting himself between the girl and the terrifying-looking man. Opening his clenched fists, Cassander felt them crackle with energy as he began to focus it. The bearded man roared, the dark circles under his eyes looked to be nearly sagging into his beard as his open maw revealed yellow teeth with numerous missing members.

The stench of alcohol caused Cassander's noise to crinkle before he retaliated. Raising a hand forward, he hurled an explosive ball of concussive energy toward the man. Except his powers were gone and he was no longer a young man but instead a boy. The street around them faded into a dingy bedroom as the alley became a grimy door, nearly falling off of its rusted hinges.

The bearded man effortlessly swatted Cassander aside before sweeping the girl under his arm. Turning and walking away, Cassander was left seething on the floor.

[color=#8aaceb]"Never again,"[/color] He swore, [color=#8aaceb]"I am never going to be helpless again."[/color][/indent]

[indent]The klaxon echoed through the dormitories at a volume that would stir even the dead. Shooting up in his bed, Cassander jumped to his feet, neglecting to adorn them with either slippers or shoes before rushing into the bustling hallway. Students filed out of their dorms in a system that could only be described as contained chaos. Moving against the flow of traffic, Cassander located his House representative at the opposite end of the hallway and made a beeline towards them, carefully weaving through the other bodies. 

Suddenly a hand landed on his shoulder catching Cassander off guard. Flinching at the firm hand landing on his shoulder, Cassander moved to shrug it off, barely controlling the reflex to ball his hands into fists. His palms began to burn, sparks dancing across them before Cass turned his head to see that the hand belonged to his student house advisor, Gareth Wagner.

Seeing the look in Cass' eye, Gareth quickly removed his hand.

[color=white]"Sorry, I forgot about the touching-"[/color]

[color=#8aaceb]"Let me help,"[/color] Cassander interjected.

[color=white]"You're a freshman, protocol says-"[/color]

[color=#8aaceb]"I'm not running, if they're coming for P.R.C.U., then I'm fighting."[/color] Cass retorted, the look on his face leaving no room for argument.

[color=#8aaceb]"I'll follow any orders I'm given, but I want-"[/color] He paused, clearing his throat, [color=#8aaceb]"No, I need to fight. I can't be a bystander."[/color][/indent][/indent][/COLOR][/color][INDENT][sub][sup][h3][b][color=black] [color=2c2c2c]▅[/color]   [sub]S U P P O R T I N G   C A S T[/sub][/color]

Brought into the Jones care at the age of twelve, Cassander has matured into a man under the tutelage of Calvin. A kind man, Calvin works as a general contractor, and during several summers while Cass made his way through highschool had the boy apprentice under him in the trades. Calvin was the man who taught Cassander how to drive, not only a car, but also motorcycles and even a backhoe. It was Calvin who first comforted Cass about being a Hyperhuman and it was Calvin who ultimately introduced Cassander to Alexis' brother, Aiden.

When Cassander parted for school, Calvin made sure the young man knew he always had a home with the Jones in Crestwood Hollow and gave Cass his favourite leather jacket as a memento and reminder of their bond[color=666666]▅

RJ and Vanessa first met in kindergarten but due to his lack of actual class participation through most of elementary school, the pair rarely interacted. It wasn't until high school the pair formed an unconventional friendship. Ever the recluse, RJ had been reading on the bleachers when Vanessa's protests reached his ears between songs. Investigating, RJ quickly discovered one of the jocks pressuring Vanessa behind the bleachers. Though the altercation ended with RJ having his ass handed to him, it was enough to get the jock to lay off of Vanessa, starting the odd friendship. The pair enjoyed reading together beneath the Hanging Tree, and RJ often excitedly introduced Vanessa to any new music he enjoyed. It was also RJ who unfortunately introduced Vanessa to cigarettes, a habit that deemed him a bad influence in the eyes of her parents and siblings.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Every high school needs a John Bender, and Mather Memorial has theirs in the form of Robert James Scott. Born on the wrong side of the tracks, Robert, or RJ as he prefers to be called, was raised in the Beau by both his parents. Although in his father's case, he was raised more by a swift kick to the ass than he was any sort of nurturing words.

An outsider among Mather Memorial's various cliques, RJ was considered by a burnout early into his academic career. Often aloof and unmotivated in class, his teachers quickly lost their patience with him leading to RJ spending most of his academic hours outside of the classroom. When the principal eventually grew sick of seeing RJ outside his office, the developing boy was sent to the library where he could at least put in some man-hours. In actuality, RJ wasn't unmotivated, it was just that most concepts presented in traditional academics bored him because of how quickly he understood them. His less than stellar grades were a result of not having any passion for learning as he was rarely challenged. However, working in the library introduced RJ to a love of reading that he didn't know he had previously as he became lost in the works of Austen, Defoe, Shelley, Swift and numerous others. 

At home, music was often RJ's escape from the screaming match in the living room. While books offered numerous exotic locales that weren't his stale smelling bedroom, music actually drowned his mother's screams and the crack of his father's belt. By the time he entered highschool, RJ had taken to carrying a walkman with him wherever he went and it was often his go to escape should he find himself in a situation or company he didn't enjoy. Though a recluse, RJ wasn't unfriendly and often found himself sticking up for the down trodden in the hallways of Mather Memorial. In fact a large part of RJ's unpopularity among his peers was due to refusing to bow down to the varcity teams, often leading to more than a few blows exchanged in the hallways of the secondary school.

[INDENT]Like Hercules or Samson, RJ's Hyperhuman ability manifests itself in a form of augmented strength that exceeds that of even an Olympic level strongman. Unlike either of the two legendary figures, however, RJ's strength doesn't come from physical muscles but rather a form of tactile telekinesis. RJ's superhuman strength is created by psionic energies which manifest a bioelectric field that surrounds his body. This field extends around whatever RJ touches and allows him to lift objects far beyond his physical capabilities. As the field extends around whatever RJ is touching, it also bolsters that object, at least while in contact with RJ, allowing him to grab a car by its fender without it shearing off from the rest of the car. This enhanced bioelectric field furthermore protects his body from harm, displacing force from blows and impact to greatly reduce their degree of harm or even completely negate it.[/indent]
[sub][b][color=lightgray]   L I M I T A T I O N S   ||    W E I G H T,   S I Z E[/color][/b][/sub]

[INDENT]Like the body itself, even the mind has limits. The larger the object, the more strain it puts on RJ and his mind. This correlates to both the weight and size of the object. To further explain, even if RJ were capable of handling the weight of a skyscraper, he couldn't expand his bioelectric field to envelop the building. At his maximum output, RJ is capable of hoisting an object of three thousand pounds above his head though not without strain. In the same vein, the largest object he could expand his field around is that of a station wagon.[/INDENT]

[INDENT]As RJ's powers are psionic, they require his mind to be conscious and aware to perform his abilities at even an involuntary level. Due to this, when RJ is unconscious or even asleep, he's rendered completely human and is completely vulnerable in these states. Since RJ's powers are linked to both his mind and body's bioelectric field, instances that disrupt either of these can temporarily render RJ powerless. Insulators can reduce the range and effectiveness of RJ's abilities, even completely blocking them if he were subjected to wearing them.[/INDENT][/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][hr][/COLOR][/hider]

Althought the scarring is faint, it can be seen upon close examination.[/i][/COLOR][/sub][/hider][CENTER][SUB]Abilities, Skills and Resources[/sub]
[color=black][sup]___________________________________[/sup][/color][/center][hider=]
[sub][b]//Abiliites:[/b]
	[COLOR=darksalmon]• [b]Animal Mimicry[/b] | [i]Noah has the ability to take on the appearance, traits and abilities of any animal provided he has sampled that animal's DNA. The sampling of DNA can be as simple as touching the animal or by other means such as ingesting it. As such, Noah is capable of transforming into most domesticated and farm animals. Transformations can be extremely painful and the pain is directly proportionate to how much Noah's body has to change to accommodate his new form. The pain is also affected by the difference in mass between Noah's body and that of the new form. The shedding and gaining of mass are extremely painful and often leads to transformations being imperfect as Noah tries to maintain his mass despite the animal being either unnaturally larger or smaller than normal.

Frequent animal forms become familiar and their transformations become notably easier. Currently, Noah only has three 'Familiar' forms that he can transform into, a large black dog, a river otter, and a fruit bat. The dog is the easiest form for Noah to become while the bat is much harder despite being a 'Familiar'.

Shifting from similar forms is easier on Noah's body. For example, shifting from a dog to a wolf is relatively easy, likewise shifting from a lion to a tiger also doesn't put much strain on Noah's body. In this same vein, Noah can change the colour of his fur, feathers or scales on the fly with little to no effort. 

As Noah gains more control over his abilities, he'll be able to transform in different and more specific ways. Notably, Noah will be able to selectively take on various traits such as a dog's sense of smell or an owl's vision. Further practice and experience will allow Noah to combine DNA strands and animal traits to create new creatures or even to emulate the appearance and abilities of mythical, legendary or folk creatures.[/i]
	
	• [b]Limitation(s)[/b] | [i]By far the largest limitation to Noah's abilities is his threshold for pain. Due to the immense changes his body undergoes when shifting into an animal, his bones are broken and refused, his skin tears and stitches itself back together as fur, feather or scale covers it. New transformations are far more painful than those that Noah has become accustomed to but even then, his 'Familiar' transformations still take a toll on him. For this reason, Noah cannot perform rapid changes without risking the loss of consciousness or permanent damage.

The cycle of the moon has some effects on Noah's abilities, with a full moon causing him to act erratic and forcing him to transform. A new moon can have the opposite effect, potentially making it impossible for Noah to transform. 

A notable limitation of Noah's is that his clothing does not, and can not transform with him. Thus when shifting, it is often in his best interest to first disrobe. Depending on the nature of the transformation, clothes can hinder and add to the pain of transformation. Furthermore, remaining clothed will likely lead to their destruction and therefore leaving Noah without clothing to change back into.
 
In his human form, Noah is physically limited due to hip dysplasia in his left hip that requires him to walk with the aid of an arm crutch. This ailment is a permanent injury suffered from his first, unexpected shift which has made Noah more than a little cautious when it comes to using abilities outside of familiar forms.

Secondly, while human, Noah requires glasses to see due to suffering from several eye conditions all stemming from retinitis pigmentosa or 'RP'. As such, without his glasses, Noah has next to no vision and should they be removed he's essentially blind. Another of Noah's symptoms is an aversion to bright lights and even in moderate sunlight, Noah can be found wearing heavy shaded lenses. Lastly, Noah has next to no night vision, thus making it nearly impossible for him to see at night and given his aversion to bright lights, he generally avoids being out after dark.[/i]

	• [b]Weakness(es)[/b] | [i]Noah has a highly volatile reaction to silver with the precious metal capable of completely blocking his abilities and causing physical harm upon contact. As such, Noah has to avoid contact with all forms of silver. 

Likewise, the poisonous plant, Wolfsbane, is especially harmful to Noah and even physical contact can cause immense discomfort whereas ingestion can range from making Noah physically sick to killing him depending on the amount ingested.

Lastly, due both to the frequent migraines caused by his optical ailments and the pain of his hip dysplasia, Noah has been prescribed several different painkillers and his body has rapidly increased his tolerance. As the dosage has been upped, so has Noah's reliance upon the drugs and as such, he has a developed a dependency and an addiction to his painkillers. Should Noah not take his painkillers by his scheduled time, he begins to experience withdrawal and his temperament begins to rapidly dissolve.[/i][/COLOR]

Noah keeps an active Instagram account which he documents many of Crestwood Hollow's best sights.[/i]

	• [b]Writing[/b] | [i]Something of a writing enthusiast, Noah enjoys writing both 'professionally' and as a hobby, although he prefers to write by hand more than he does to type up a piece on his laptop. Noah occasionally writes for the school paper, the 'Weekly Memorial', but more often aids in editing it and the yearbook.[/i]

	• [b]Speaking[/b] | [i]As a member of student council and the school's radio, Noah has developed considerable public speaking abilities. As such, despite what confidence he lacks in talking to people one on one, especially members of the opposite sex, Noah is well versed in talking to large crowds and general audiences.[/i][/COLOR]

[color=darksalmon][indent]Noah looks like someone who has yet to grow into his own body. Thin and lanky, his arms and, legs both appear over-sized to his torso. Although his left leg is shorter than the right due to his hip dysplasia. Thick, heavy framed glasses sit firmly on his nose, several pieces of scotch, duct and electrical tape placed at various points to hold the damaged frame together. His hair is quiffed, a dark brown colour with various streaks of lighter brown and blonde throughout due to time spent outside. His skin likewise holds a healthy sun-kissed tan, with several freckles starting on the bridge of his nose and spreading across his cheeks under either eye. A light five o'clock shadow can be seen growing in although around his cheeks and often kept shaven.

In terms of style, Noah prefers loose fitting clothing which hides his lithe build. Due to time spent running in his animal forms, he has built up his muscles his physique being more akin to that of a runner or swimmer than his style leads one to believe. Noah is never without his messenger bag or his crutch, and can often be seen heavily on it.[/indent][/color]
[sub][b] Character Synopsis[/b][/sub]
[sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub]
[color=darksalmon][indent]Born and raised in Crestwood Hollow, Noah William Gallagher Jr. lived his entire life in the Southern portion of the city, growing up amidst the ever-expanding suburbs. His parents were high school sweethearts, meeting during their sophomore year and falling quickly and madly in love. Noah's mother, Sophia discovered she was pregnant the night of their prom and announced it to Noah's father, his namesake after the pair was crowned the Prom's King and Queen. In his excitement, Noah Gallagher Sr. accidentally revealed his Hyperhuman Ability, a shower of sparks emitting from his hands, gathering the attention of the graduating class.   

Taking Sophia home, Noah was jumped by his former teammates, the Mather Memorial Ravens. Noah had been the school's quarterback, one of the most popular men in school and by extension, Sophia had been fallen into the cliché of being the head cheerleader. She was the definition of the 'It Girl' and for her to have not only laid with but also to have been impregnated by a Hyperhuman was salt to the wound. Unskilled with his abilities, Noah was unable to defend himself as he was beaten to death by the school's football team.

The local police swept the hate crime under the rug, pinning the blame on a local drunk. Sophia meanwhile died during childbirth, the strain creating tears in her heart that ultimately led to her death. Her last breath was used to name the child after his father. Alone in the world, Noah Jr. was taken in by Sophia's parents, William and Sydney, his grandparents who raised him and his Aunt Danielle, Sophia's younger sister.

Growing up next door to the Harpers, young Noah and Ivy were near inseparable. Noah filled Ivy's want of a sibling and even from a young age, Noah was smitten with the older girl. As they aged though, the pair drifted apart and by the time they reached high school the pair were little more than familiar acquaintances.

During his youth, Noah was scarcely seen without the accompaniment of a large black Shiloh Shepherd owned by his grandparents. Outside of Ivy Harper, the dog, Achilles, was Noah's only friend while he was growing up. The pair went everywhere together and on one such occasion found themselves in Mather Park. Cornered by a mugger, Achilles sprung to Noah's defense attacking the man but in the struggle, the mugger's gun fired and Achilles died before he could make it to the veterinary hospital.

In his grief, Noah's powers manifested and his body began to mimic Achilles' appearance. The pain of his body warping caused immense strain on Noah's body and the transformation failed but not without causing irreparable damage. Noah was left with a permanent limp, walking with the assistance of a crutch. Eventually learning to control his transformations, Noah began to enjoy running in the form of a dog and during on his adventures stumbled across Ivy.

The girl was out for a walk by herself and so, in the form of a dog dubbed 'Shadow', Noah began to walk with her. He listened as the girl talked about her problems, her interests, whatever else came to mind. Despite the fact that the two had grown apart, Noah's feelings for Ivy had never changed. Due to his injury and the distance between them since their childhood, Noah lacked the confidence to approach Ivy as himself, but as 'Shadow' he could be a friend to her as Achilles had to him.

Despite being unable to participate in the more athletic extracurriculars at Mather Memorial, Noah stays involved by volunteering with the student council, school paper, radio and acting as the assistant editor for the school's yearbook. When word of Dr. Lehrer's Hyperhuman Program reached him, Noah took pause as attending would essentially out him as a Hyperhuman, the same act that led to the death of his father. Deciding instead that he'd attend as a Student Council member, Noah has decided to no out himself and keep his gifts a secret.[/indent][/color]
[sub][b] Personality[/b][/sub]
[sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub]
[INDENT][color=darksalmon]Noah is an insecure young man who hides behind a smile. He's aware of how off-putting his injuries can be to some people and loathes people looking down on him, hiding behind false sympathy. But he's also scared due to the realization he is a Hyperhuman, the same thing that led to his father being killed.

Due to this, Noah puts on a friendly outgoing facade which led to his numerous extracurriculars in order to compensate for his physical appearance. Noah's involvement allows him to blend into the crowd of the Mather Memorial, being memorable for what he does and not who he is. Above all else, Noah does not want to be known as 'the kid with the crutch' or worse, 'the Hyperhuman'.

However, Noah has another side. Something of a pessimist, he often jumps to the worst case scenario and is not quick to trust due to seeing the worst in people long before he ever starts to see the good in them. Despite this, he's something of a hopeless romantic and wears his heart on his sleeve, thus leading to his near-stalkerish behaviour towards Ivy Harper over the past couple of years.[/color][/INDENT]
