—Nolan Reynolds
**Nolan Thomas Reynolds** is a young superhuman formerly residing in Neo Arcadia. By unknown means, he was granted the ability to construct portals and blast bolts of energy. With the help of the Arcadian Rebels, Nolan soon learned how to control his powers.

Soon he learned that he was connected to a mystical ancient artifact known as the "Energy Orb." With this knowledge, Nolan chose to become a full-fledged superhero under the codename **Armenus**.

During his brief career as a vigilante, he founded the Eagle-Eyes with his other enhanced friends, but he soon moved away to Miami.

There, he occasionally attempted to stop using his powers, but he would grow up to continue fighting crime and learning more about the nature of his powers. He also takes up the moniker of **NRG**.

## Biography

### Early Life

Nolan Reynolds was born to Joaquin Dallas and Audrey Reynolds, on June 6, 2002. Nolan lived a usual childhood life, though was absurdly rude to many other people, including his own parents and family members. He developed this rude-nature due to his parents' constant arguing.

#### Adrian's Fiasco

Through all of this, Nolan had truly only one close family member, his uncle Adrian. Adrian and Nolan had a close bond, to the point where Adrian was more of a father to Nolan.

Realizing how unstable Nolan's life was, Adrian offered for Nolan to live with him so that he'd live in a better and stable environment. Eager, Nolan went ahead to ask his parents.

Unfortunately, Joaquin and Audrey saw this as Adrian's attempt to strip Nolan away from their lives. From that moment on, Adrian was forbidden from even going near Nolan.

#### Separation

A few months after his 16th birthday, Nolan learned that his parents were having a divorce. A decision that halted Nolan's life and made him a painfully ill-mannered individual.

#### A New Beginning

Sometime in early fall, Nolan was walking home from school. Walking through an alleyway, Nolan was greeted by a cracked round artifact. Getting a better look, he noticed that it appeared to be leaking of bright blue liquid. He picked it up and shockingly, the artifact began sending a burning sensation through Nolan. When he attempted to throw it, it was almost stuck to his palms.

After a few minutes, the liquid in the artifact began entering Nolan's body through his ears. Shortly after, the artifact shattered and waves of bright blue energy flew into the air and somehow, Nolan's body absorbed the blast. After this, a bright blue light opened near him and he was sucked in. When he awoke, he was in his room.

Nolan was found by the Arcadian Rebels and his father who at this time was a long-time detective. They managed to calm Nolan down and locked him up in an EPF containment cell for the time being.

### School Setbacks

#### Taste of Terror

After a fight in school, Nolan, along with students Joe Fumero, Dominic Cohen, Olivia Connor, Saiyako Uchiha, Lincoln Grace, and his very own sister, Lucy Dunne, was sent to detention after school.

At first, everything seemed normal, though when the teacher who was supposed to watch over them mysteriously disappeared, Joe and Dominic pulled out a few bottles of beer from their lockers and pressured everyone into drinking. At first hesitant, Nolan decided to enjoy some drinks with them.

After time passed, Nolan decided to go home, due to it being late. When he went to his locker, he found the lifeless body of their teacher, Marco Ledger. Ledger being the teacher who had to supervise them.

Dominic suggested taking the body somewhere far away. Joe, Lincoln, and Dominic took the body, hid it in a gym bag, and took it the lake. Once they returned, the eight made a pact that they would never speak about this tragedy to anyone.

#### Biting the Dust

The following day, the group was taken to the police station to be interrogated by Officer Julie Caesar. For most of the questions, the kids responded with "no" or simply lied.

At school, the group realized Dominic was nowhere to be seen, though they didn't think much at first. After some time in their first-period class, the group heard their principal, Aloysius Guggenheim yell. The students stood up from their seats and made their way to where the principal was.

They found him in the cafeteria, staring at the bloody corpse of Dominic pinned up to the wall. The school was quickly evacuated, and the group decided to band together at the pizza parlor and informed each other that if anything should happen, they'd be ready for anything.

#### And So the Plot Thickens

After Dominic's funeral, the students returned to school on April 15. Nothing interesting happened, which was a nice change after so much tragedy. Unfortunately, this didn't last.

Lucy and Olivia spotted Principal Guggenheim opening Nolan's locker. Immediately, they confronted him, though he tried to ignore them and push them off to the side. The two then called for Nolan. At first, he didn't believe what they were telling him, until he found a note in his locker which read, "you're all next."

That moment, Doug State confronted them and asked what they were doing. He was obviously curious about their whereabouts and the way they've been acting the past few days. Nolan responded by revealing his powers and explained that they, along with a few other students, found Mr. Ledger's body.

#### Something Wicked This Way Comes

The gang would attempt to have a normal day, trying to forget about the note, though unfortunately, Nolan was still antsy.

The group learned about two students, Miles Chapman, and Benjamin Kant, who were recently enrolled into Neo Arcadia High.

Suddenly, Doug noticed that Mr. Gerving and Principal Guggenheim were making attempts to delete some footage of the latter opening Nolan's locker. To enter the office, Doug set off the fire alarm to evacuate the school. When mostly everyone was gone, he walked in and made attempts to find the footage, though Nolan managed to catch him doing so. He explained, and the two were unable to get the footage.

Nolan and Doug made their way outside and explained to the rest of the group about sneaking into the school later that night, unbeknownst to them, Benjamin was listening in on their conversation.

#### Breaking and Entering

At around 9:00 pm, Nolan and the group returned to school, with Benjamin sneakily following them. They attempted sneak in, though were stopped by their substitute teacher, Mr. Broxton. They managed to knock him unconscious and they made their way inside the building.

Upon entering, a new student by the name of Akito Kishimoto entered the room they were in, though quickly hid. After some time, Nolan found him and explained that he's been living in the school since January of that year.

Suddenly, they heard loud footsteps in the hallway, and Nolan went to check it out and noticed that a masked man had Linda Spoons at gunpoint. Nolan was unable to save her, and she was shot dead. The killer made attempts to escape, though the superhero Steel Sentinel appeared and began fighting him off and would've been able to take him in if Nolan's uncontrollable rage didn't get in the way. Sentinel was furious with Nolan, though he simply told him to leave. After this, Mr. Broxton awoke, though Nolan was able to knock him out and make him forget the past hour. With that, Nolan welcomed Akito to their clique.

#### A Day Off

The next day, Nolan and the group had a surprisingly average day, though Nolan was present when Akito and a troublemaker known as Johnny Channing got into a fight. The only thing that was worth noting, was that by the end of the day, Johnny randomly disappeared.

#### Tell That to the Judge

The following week, the gang once more had an unusually normal day. The main thing that stuck out to Nolan was that Joe hadn't arrived until during lunch. There, Joe explained that he lost his phone and that his dad's car tire popped off.

During a pep rally, Doug believed that Guggenheim might've taken the phone, so he took Nolan and Joe to his office. There, they indeed found Joe's phone. Walking out of the building, they saw Greg Guggenheim, Principal Guggenheim's nephew, lying on the floor in a puddle of blood. Nolan walked up to the corpse to check his pulse, though unfortunately got blood stains on his hands. The police and Guggenheim arrived and saw that Nolan's palms were covered in Greg's blood. Officer Joaquin Dallas was forced to arrest his own son.

#### Prison

Nolan spent a little over a week in a cell. He didn't bother to fit in with the other prisoners, due to them being years older than him. Nolan would be frequently visited by his friends and his mother.

On time Nolan was visited by his sister, who had recently woken up from a coma. Nolan explained to her that she needed to rally up the rest of the group and figure out a way to break him out. Before Nolan was taken away, Guggenheim threatened Nolan, revealing that Guggenheim killed his own nephew to frame Nolan.

#### Let Free

With the help of his friends from school and Steel Sentinel, Guggenheim was arrested and admitted to his crimes. Not only that, he admitted to framing Nolan. With this revelation, Nolan was free from prison.

Later that night, Nolan, Akito, and Joe met up with Benjamin at the park. They spoke about the past few weeks and were unsure as to where they'd be going next, now that the school had been shut down.

### Disband

As the Summer grew to a close, both Nolan and Lucy received shocking news. Joaquin and Audrey had informed the two that they would move with Audrey to Miami before the new school year. Nolan argued with them to stay in the city, though they felt that the city had become too dangerous for them.

Both Nolan and Lucy contacted the Eagle-Eyes, and heard similar information from a few of their friends. Olivia was going to move with her sister, and Akito was going to fly around the world in search for his lost mother. With all of this, Nolan decided to disband the team, as they were parting ways.

## Personality

*"I've been in prison, fought my own insane uncle, and fought a dragon. I've been through enough hell to know what is and isn't scary."*
—Nolan Reynolds
Growing up, Nolan was never considered the brightest kid, nor was he all that intelligent. He lived a decent childhood life, up until his parents started, more than often, arguing. Due to this, Nolan drifted apart from his actual parents and chose to retreat more to his uncle.

When his parents made him unable to see his uncle again, and when his parents finally separated, Nolan's life took a toll. He became painfully impertinent and extremely ill-mannered. So much so that when Nolan met the Arcadian Rebels for the first time, he made fun of their fallen ally's unfortunate death.

This all changed when Nolan received powers via the Energy Orb. The orb showed Nolan pain, pain that he hadn't felt since his parent's departure. Nolan was shown how awful he was and felt almost an outcast, now that he had these uncontrollable powers, that he himself had yet to understand and manifest in that period of time.

With the help of his parents, the Rebels, and his friends from school, Nolan slowly felt complete. He had grown from someone who was insolent, to someone who truly cared about human life, which is what led him to not kill the man who had kidnapped his family. With that, Nolan dawned a suit made by KJ Becker and dedicated his young life to helping the innocent.

Nolan makes it a point to keep his identity secret since if such knowledge was made public his friends would be worried sick and he would have major trouble with the law on the grounds of vigilantism.

Nolan shows a strong desire to impress his fellow heroes and prove his worth, often asking Almanac if he did well during and after missions.

Nolan is a mainstream nerd and frequently makes references to pop culture, including movies and television. He quoted *Kung Fu Panda* in the final battle of the uprising of Atlantis. Nolan also dabbles in art.

## Physical Appearance

Nolan is a young Caucasian male with brown-colored eyes and dirty blonde hair. His height is 5'8", and he has a slimmer, yet fit build, due to the Energy Orb.

Nolan's regular outfit consists of a dark gray jacket and underneath is usually some sort of plain blue-ish green shirt. He also tends to wear dark-colored joggers and bright blue sneakers. He also has a blue and black hat.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

*"Thanks, orby."*
—Armenus
* **Energy Manipulation:** Nolan's connection with the Energy Orb grants him a vast array of ergokinetic abilities, primarily the harnessing of destructive force. His energy manifests as a bright blue aura which he can use to blast his enemies with concussive bursts, open portals to other locations, phase through solid matter, and even enhance his physical strength, reflexes, and senses.
	+ **Energy Blasts:** Nolan's primary offensive ability is projecting his blue aura as an attack, applying powerful concussive force behind it. Nolan can also charge his physical attacks with this energy, greatly amplifying the damage he can cause with a single hit.
	+ **Energy Constructs:** Nolan's secondary offensive ability is a variation of his ability to violently project energy. He can shape it at will, and he is fond of forming sharp, shocking daggers of blue energy from his wrist.
	+ **Portal Creation:** Nolan can open breaches to other locations, allowing him to teleport himself. He can also take others with him.
	+ **Intangibility:** Nolan can phase through solid matter by rendering himself incorporeal to attacks and rendering himself corporeal once more to retaliate.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Nolan can use his unique blue energy to generate powerful pressure capable of holding great amounts of weight.
	+ **Invisibility:** Nolan can make himself invisible.
	+ **Self-Detonation:** Nolan is able to expel great amounts of explosive energy in a lateral direction from his body. The output of the energy is great enough to stun an Atlantean warrior.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Nolan's physical strength is extremely increased by the Energy Orb. He was strong enough to lift a police cruiser, which weighs up to 3,964 pounds (1.982 tons), and later catch two cars thrown at him at once.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes:**
	+ **Superhuman Senses:**
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** The magic energy inside Nolan grants him a strong and efficient healing factor which allows him to recover from minor wounds almost instantly. This is greatly boosted when other healers supplement their own healing energy to him.
