**Noor Asra** is a twenty five year old male human who was introduced during the second arc of Josie's lore. He was formerly the youngest leader in The Order of Themis and was considered a prodigy. He was killed by Srijan in a fight against him and Josie and was revived later on. He lived in Taraxacum for a time before he was brought to Alrasid to help with the war.

## Appearance

Noor is a young man with fair skin and two-toned hair. He has eerily white eyes that glow in the dark. He stands at around five foot eleven and has a fit build. His typical attire consists of a long sleeve shirt with asymmetrical white and black sleeves, layered on top of that is a dark blue short sleeved collared shirt. Around his neck he loosely wears a black tie. His pants are black ripped jeans that are somewhat faded, and his shoes are typically sneakers.

## Personality

Noor is responsible and determined. He has been described by many as having excellent leadership skills, and is able to analyze and efficiently plan out a strategy based on the strengths of those he is tasked to work with. He is kind and pure-hearted. He wishes to do nothing but help people, and was previously under the impression that The Order was the best way of going about that.

He is accepting and friendly, and enjoys spending quality time with his friends. He is also shown to be particularly forgiving, and does not seem to hold grudges, as he was willing to befriend Ormr and attempt to befriend Marnina despite their rocky history.

## Biography

Noor was born in a village on Earth named Ixtel to Arawn and Ilta Asra. From a young age he was taught that demons were the enemy of humanity, and that a world without them would be a much safer and purer environment for humanity. Due to both of them being in The Order of Themis during the time of his birth, he was sent into a training program that spanned until he was twelve years old. In this program he was assigned a mentor and taught how to fight using whatever weapon he chose. Noor's mentor was Rae Guillua, who was skilled in nearly all manner of combat. She taught him how to use ring blades and how to fight.

During his free time, Noor discovered that he had a passion for dancing, and pursued that in secret when he was left to his own devices after curfew. This hobby improved his coordination and allowed him to excel as a student. He received a formal education through Ixtel as well, and had a small group of friends outside of the Order that he treasured.

Though, when the time of his twelve year trial began approaching, Noor was advised to cut off all ties outside of the Order to ensure that no innocent lives were dragged into the conflict between them and demonkind. So, Noor painstakingly bid farewell to his friends and shifted all of his focus onto studying and preparing for the trial ahead of him.

He would often sneak away from the organization and into the clearings in the surrounding woods to dance, and once day that led him into trouble. He was taking a walk through the woods, as he usually was, when it began to storm. Frightened and discombobulated, he sought shelter in a nearby cave. Countless stories had warned against doing this, however seeing as it was his last option, he shoved the warnings to the side and remained there. Unfortunately, the cave happened to be the home of a snake demon. She spotted him and - seeing as he was only eleven - figured that he would be an easy meal. She attacked him, caught off guard Noor was slow to react, and compared to the strength of his assailant, there was little he could do. She managed to bite him, and Noor unwisely fought through the pain. Seconds before death seemed immanent, white sparks flew from his fingers and created a small barrier between him and the demon. Noor's magic had manifested early, an unheard of case for Narsev users. Burned and frightened, the snake demon retreated, and Noor was left to pass out from both blood loss and the venom that had been spreading through his body. The last thing he remembered seeing was the silhouettes of two unknown figures approaching him.

Noor awoke a few days later back in The Order's care, Zain had found him and had explained to his parents what had happened. They believed it to be a miracle that he had survived, and did not believe him when he said that his magic had saved him. He attempted to summon the sparks and the shield once more, but nothing responded.

During the time of his trial, Noor was separated from the others and cornered by the same demon that he had injured mere weeks prior. He managed to repel her once again using his magic and scrambled to the safety of the proctors. Seeing as he had passed, he was officially given a rank and a place among the organization. Due to the two encounters, Noor began believing more firmly that demons were simply monsters that had no sense of humanity. He believed that they would kill and eat anyone who stumbled into their paths, and was determined to protect his family and his friends from such a threat.

Using his mastery of his magic as well as his skill with his blades, Noor climbed his way easily through the rankings and became the youngest leading member. He was often trusted with extremely dangerous missions that were seldom left to anyone but Zain. He flourished under the pressure and the expectations of him, and used them to build himself a stable life.

However, during one such mission, he remained away from home for a prolonged period of time. When he returned from a walk, the village he had been staying at, his cats, and all of his neighbors and everyone else he knew had seemingly vanished into thin air. Confused and somewhat frightened, he began wandering around, searching for a new place to stay until finally, he stumbled into Taraxacum.

## Abilities

* **Skilled With Ring Blades** - Attributed to his many years of intensive training, Noor is extremely skilled at using ring blades. He commonly uses them as melee weapons, but is also able to throw them with surprising accuracy. They swerve around and return to him like a boomerang.
* **Dancing** - Noor is a skilled dancer. He is agile, quick on his feet and is able to shift his weight in an instant and use his opponent's momentum against them. Aside from that his coordination improved from his practices as well as his stamina and ability to dodge. It's not uncommon for him to perform small aerial maneuvers to avoid being hit.
* **Narsev Magic** - Noor is the only person in the history of Narsev users to have manifested the magic before turning fifteen. He is extremely skilled with it and seems to have a better grasp of it than most of the people his age. He uses it to create small structures to move on, create weapons, shields and more.
