## Other

### Languages

EnglishSign language

**Nox** is a corrupted wither.

## Personality

To most, Nox can come off as abrasive and even cold to start off with, hiding his true intent towards strangers for what he says is for "the greater good". All, except one. Aqua is the sole person Nox seems to reveal is true personality around. He reveals to be caring and attentive, not as rude as he can be as already shown- even protective over her. He seems to take an affinity towards science and complicated contraptions.

## History

Much like the others, his memories are shot. Not remembering much other than his name and one word. Innovation. He didn't understand what was happening. His awakening was already not pleasant, but he felt a connection to someone already. They called themselves Aqua. Why was he feeling like this? That question alone is what had brought a feeling that had also felt familiar, desire. A desire to learn, to gather intel and answers.

## Memory

Whilst building his house, he couldn't help but have a feeling he had done this before, with someone else. Whilst decorating, he kept referring to someone that wasn't there, telling them to stop jumping on the furniture or climbing up the walls. He had a feeling he was speaking to someone younger due to his tone and attitude. He needs to know more.

## Ability

* Hungry: Even though Nox is a skeleton, he still somehow needs food and needs it often...
* Skirmish: Nox warps to another dimension becoming invulnerable to any kind of damage and become invisible, when enter/exiting the dimension he emits a sound.
* Warp: Nox can cause any nearby projectiles to warp and slow down allowing him to dodge them with ease.
* Wieldy: Nox is a wither skeleton and thus deals an extra heart of damage with any type of sword.
* Unwieldy: Due to his skeletal frame, he is unable to hold or equip a shield
* Hydrophobic: Like most mobs, Nox cannot touch water or liquids ~~(for some reason-)~~

## Lore

All is unclear and deceitful. Nations are divided and hostile. Reality is a paradox and forever changing, what he does is meaningless to the unseen eyes of the universe.

Innovation.

That’s the word he remembers. That and the crave- the desire- the yearn for more. For what exactly? He does not know, but that is a start. Better that than to let the world ebb away around him, for him to succumb to the null, inconsequential lives and expectations that so many others had done before him. He must do something. He must *be* something. For all this was for naught. What exactly? Again, a question that he will never know the answer to… No. A question he cannot answer now. For that, is what he will strive to accomplish- to attain. The knowledge.

He will *not* be forgotten.

Nox didn’t even realize he was awake until the bright rays started to burn into his retinas. He sat up, slowly taking in his surroundings. He rubbed the blades of grass between his fingers, feeling the texture of the life as his hair was tussled around by the soft breeze. He looked up, trees gently rocked in the wind, animals grazing from afar, and he could’ve sworn he heard the faint roar of a waterfall nearby. Peace. That’s what this was. Peace all around him.

But all he could feel was dread.

His heart was racing, his breath started to become shallow. Why was this feeling here? Why was there a sense of urgency to do something? To save something? Or… Someone? He ran a hand through his hair, knocking goggles he didn’t realize he had off his head. His eye stung, burned even. He gripped the ground harshly, breaking the grass from its roots as he gasped for breath. It seemed like the plant he was sitting atop of was dying, but he couldn’t focus on that. He needed air, he needed to go. Go where? He didn’t know. All these questions and thoughts were racing in his mind, none that he could answer nor could fully grasp at the moment as they swirled faster and faster, until he couldn’t even hear himself breathe-

Nox stiffened when he felt an arm wrap around his shoulders and pull him slightly into the side of something warm and soft. His breath stopped as he turned his head, thoughts halting as he realized there was another person- another being here. He hadn’t noticed anyone else here, how had he not? He turned around, finally realizing the different people- hybrids- littering the ground. Some were still out cold while others were up and about, inspecting their surroundings. Some were already chasing after the wildlife (some running away from said wildlife-). He quickly regained his senses and straightened his posture, silently thanking the person next to him with a nod before standing up. He was a little startled that the person stood quickly up with him, though. They reminded him of someone… Of who though? Their smile, it was so warm, so comforting… How could they smile like that? Why was he feeling safe around them?

Their voice rang out, making Nox realize they were asking something of him. His name? He looked down, noticing that they had his goggles in their hands, outstretched towards him. He glanced back up at them, meeting their golden eyes- Not being able to shake the feeling of familiarity in them. They reminded him of someone, but that name seemed to be lost to time... He wanted to run, he felt like he shouldn’t be here. His gut told him this wasn’t right- that he had to move. But, this person in front of them held such compassion in their demeanor, in their eyes. They so clearly just wanted to help… And possibly have questions similar to his own answered.

Instead of going with his instinct, he composed himself by gently taking the goggles from their grasp, inspecting them silently before affixing them onto his head again. He ruffled his own hair so they sat comfortably once more. The person spoke again, this time clearly asking if he was okay. He gave a small nod before hesitantly opening his mouth to speak. What was he going to say? Before he could think about his words, he was speaking instinctively. As if his body had been waiting for this moment for years. His throat felt slightly hoarse, as if he hadn’t used it in a while(or perhaps used it too much), but his voice never wavered despite the peculiar choice of words his brain had decided to say next to this stranger,

“I’m… So glad you’re safe.”

In response to Sin accusing Aqua of being a traitor, hitting her, and spreading false information to Polaris that Nox overheard, Nox had the need to set them in their place. With assistance from Azalea they both wrote threats and left them at Sin's place, along with a head of one of Sin's friends, Shay, as a further warning. Azalea refused to sign her book, which Nox didn't argue against as he was signing his. Nox first signed his with "Doctor", he wasn't sure why and quickly erased it before handing it over.

The others had found an abandoned area and Nox was curious. They shared what they had found with him during a book club, but something was pushing him to go investigate himself. He went down and combed through the broken down room (trying not to shiver at Mr. Todd caged up and hissing at him-). He moved some rubble and found something the others hadn't seen before, another journal. What truly piqued his interest in it was that the whole book as encoded in an unfamiliar language, all except one name that seemed to be the owner's name: Doctor Virden. Curious and entranced by the challenge in front of him, he kept the book to try and decode it all, despite the damage and language barrier.
