## Personality

Outside of his Red Noir persona, Baxter is mostly quiet, chill and layback throughout the series. He does land a few good jokes as he calls them "roasts". He has a cheerful attitude and hypes up hopes for someone else's dreams and perfection with his friends and family, he brings in courage and confidence as well for himself and everyone else.

While he is Red Noir, he is very comedic, although this appears to be caused in part by his hyper personality. He is quick to act without thinking and is very impulsive (which leds to Verre Arc to always say "seriously" alot, due to her opposing attitude). Red Noir has a fairly goofy side and spends half of his fights enjoying having outsmarted his current enemy with incredibly zany schemes, which take his opponents by surprise by how silly his plans are at first sight. A show-off, Red Noir likes being the center of attention from him and couldn't stand Verre Arc's embarrassment being infront of the crowd. With his prestidigitation talent, Red Noir mixed his boastful nature and his love of pranks into a dangerous tool in battle (For Example, Tricked Pumpkin Face into thinking that he was gonna use the Grappling Claw but instead used his Red Aura for a mountful of punches).

At the beginning of the series, He is shown looking miserable and lonely as he was being picked on those around him for being better than everyone else (especially when Chloé Bourgeois kept tormitting him and becoming a victim to her). His mood changed after when Red first met him at Master Fu's massage shop in a second box, as all he wanted was a friend to be with.

Although he never really lost his overall attitude, he did develop into a strong, focused hero. In accord with his dismissal of any kind of discipline, Red Noir believes that anything is fair in a fight as long as one isn't needlessly cruel. This results in him actually using the Red Aura to climb on buildings while instead using the Grappling Claw to shoot up to get there faster as intended.

## Abilities

### As Red Noir / Gold Noir / Upgraded Red Noir / Upgraded Gold Noir.

Red Noir has much more enhanced skills, such as speed, agility, and strength, and he is almost invulnerable to physical damage.

He has remarkable talent with wielding his grappling claw, like using it as a grappling hook, a rope to restrain others, a projectile, and if he spins fast enough, even a shield and the Red Blade which enhances his sword wielding skills can cut through just about anything and reflect projectiles back to the villain. After an evil Akuma is released from its corrupted object, he can open his Grappling Claw and throw it to grab it, remove the energy that Doomsday charged it with, and release it as a normal butterfly.

His special power, Red Aura can allow him to touch any other color to Red, and can help him by summoning an object that he uses to achieve his objective, it often being to stop a villain. However, it drains his power and reverts back to Baxter shortly after, so he has to use it wisely. Once the villain is dealt with, Red Noir can bring his hands together gathering up Red Chi Energy while holding the object into the air and use the Red Revert, which will make it revert back to energy and fix all of the damage done since the villain was created.

He is also capable of Upgrading his suit from his base Red Noir form to Upgrade Red Noir and Gold Noir at the same time. For Upgrade Red Noir, His base status rises and is capable of flying with High Tech Boots, his Red Aura enhances as well, but drains quicker than his base form.

* **Hyperion Sight**: This is Bat Marron's main source of superpower, which allows him to be stronger and surrounded by Gold Aura.

#### Impressive Wit and Trickery

Red Noir's mind is his deadliest and most valuable asset.

Red Noir's favorite strategy is to psyche his opponents out. To do so, he notably predicts what his enemies will say next or more commonly provokes them to unnerve them and make them predictable in their move. Red Noir is proficient in analyzing the personalities of those he faces, then shamelessly exploits any character flaw in order to return whatever they will be doing next against them, most commonly their overconfidence. Of note are particular quirks such as Doomsday's obsession for World Order.

Having great prestidigitation skills, his goofy demeanor serving as the greatest distraction and facade he can rely on, Red Noir is able to attack from unexpected angles or make critical moves under the guise of simple stupidity or ignorance; Red Noir will often use one obvious strategy hiding another, more advanced one to fool and trap his opponents.

#### Secret Technique

Red Noir invented this move to use when battling an enemy seemed hopeless. In reality, it was actually used to stall time in order for Red Noir to formulate a plan.

The secret technique consists of carefully and quickly retreating from the opponent, while keeping a close eye on surroundings for things to use to defeat or assist in defeating them. To the untrained eye, it looks like Red Noir is simply running away like a coward, augmented by his panicked shouting when doing so. He will also use this technique to try to lure an enemy away from others.

An Example would be when him during his battle with Blue Horrificator since he was too scared to fight her.

## Miraculous Power Ups

It is revealed that when giving kwami's a certain potion, they can temporarily transform their wielder Red Noir. Baxter has made macarons with a selected different of potions with them in order to change Red into many different forms. Note that in order to change modes, Baxter cannot be in his Red Noir form, as he has to tend to Red separately for now.

* **Aqua:** Red Noir gains the ability to swim much more effectively, with a new suit and fins fitted onto his costume, while also being able to talk and breath underwater.

* **Ice:** Red Noir gains ice skates that allow him to skate on icy surfaces, resistance to cold temperatures, and his Red Aura can use Ice Manipulation.

* **Sun:** Red Noir gains a more oranger suit with a Sun logo around his hips and this allows him to resist hot temperatures and possible Fire Manipulation.

* When creating the character, Fireball Studio's founder Baxter Ewers had taken notice that Ladybug and Cat Noir's bases were off of Spider-Man and Catwoman with swapped personalities.

Soon, his personality has been upgraded by adding in abit from the part 2 version of Joseph Joestar from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
* It was hard determining the last name, but Eberusu means "Ewers" in English from a Japanese translation.
* Red Noir is the only character who can wield 3 different weapons, which are the following:
	+ The Red Blade, a Sword he magically carries on his back sometimes.
	+ His Grappling Claws, as a way of grabbing and attaching onto things to open attack his opponents.
	+ Finally, his superpower Red Aura, acts as touching any color on a certain object to the color red, and it can leave color marks on his opponent.
* It is revealed that he is also the younger brother of Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
* Baxter, like Marinette, is flexible being even more flexible as Red Noir because of his enhanced physical abilities.
* Red Noir's legacy is over 9,000 years old.
* He often eats Pizza for a living, and is described lazy at times.
* He is a 9th-10th grader like his sister Marinette.
* He is also a victim to Chloé's bullying, mostly when her hair is messed up.
	+ Another thing is, is that he is afraid of Chloé and often stays away from her. This still seems to effect him when she is Queen Bee.
* Baxter has stolen Valery's and Christian's Phone as a prank during the series. Ironically, however, both thefts were unintentional and involved him trying to hide a fact from the respective owners.
* Teressa noted that Baxter would be hard and impossible to akumatized, probably due to his wide-cocky stature and optimistic abilities involving the suit to prevent it from happening.
* Unlike Marinette, He was so far not responsible for anyone's akumatization.
	+ He is however, responsible for making so many insults about them while they were akumatized, including Daniel Gutieresu's akumatization name "Pumpkin Face", as he kept calling him "Jacky", "Jacker" or "Jack-O-Snot".
* Infact, like Deadpool, Red Noir actually lets out many insults at the akumatized villains while fighting them, which results in them getting very annoyed with him. Doomsday stated him to be "The Energizer Bunny with a non-stopping mouth of words that needs batteries taken out of him".
* Red Noir's upgraded suit was an inspiration to that of Iron Man from the *Marvel Cinematic Universe* itself.
* Red Noir's **Get Over Here!** move was an inspiration and reference to *Scorpion* from the *Mortal Kombat* series when he does the move.
* Red Aura Punch Combo was a homage move and reference from Kenshiro's Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken from the *Fist of the North Star* series.
* Red Noir is actually stronger than Ladybug in most feats he's gone through.
* Red Noir's Suit isn't a Jump Suit or a Latex Suit. It is an Tech Suit.
