**Holden** is one of the main characters in *The Adventures of Combo*. He is

## Personality

Nopenop is a boy who is happy-go-lucky, but at the same time, he is able to persevere through the world weighing down on him. He's a bit of an opposite to Combo, as he used to be far more adventurous and far more brave.

However, as it has led him to go on a killing spree, the guilt of his sins weighed him back. He still, however, has the tendency to fight his enemies such as in Trial and Error. This contradiction with feeling guilty of fighting and wanting to prove justice often conflicts him. Npenop is not the most well-guided person, and doesn't usually make the most well-thought-out decisions.

A bit like Gestro, he can become deadly serious, although again, he's very conflicted on being this serious because he knows that some people could be innocent inside.

## Relationships

### Combo Luigi

Nope and Combo are best friends and have a deep trust in each-others actions. They often consult each-other in times of doubt.

### Cerdan Swiningston

They have made the occasional acquaintance and are on decent terms.

### Dave

Unlike Cerdan him and Dave have a slightly better relationship and seem to be able to combine their powers.

### Squidy

Squidy and Nope don't talk but have faith in each other.

### Icey

Icey and Nope are great friends and have been known to team up on solo quests together, Nope however believes Icey needs to control his rage.

### Omega

Nopenop has a slight dislike for Omega but tries not to let it get in the way.

### Electric

They know each other and have a strong bond but it's powers haven't been explored yet.

### Luigi

The two like each other, Luigi is more distrustful of Nope but only slightly.

### Bowser

Nopenop hates how Bowser treats everyone and usually excruciates high amounts of pain unto him to try and drill the point into him. Later on Nope starts to see Bowser is trying to care for his kids and tries to help him cope.

### Waluigi

Due to being a literal meme Nope avoids Waluigi and often calls him "dumb excuse for a Mario character" when they meet.

### Weegee

 Aren't you just the stupidest thing I ever darn saw in my friggin life.
 — Nopenop

### Mario

Despite seeing Mario as a valuable addition to the team as he is the most skilful and experienced of them all he often finds it hard to talk to him as he abuses him like he abuses his brother.

### Chloe

While Chloe and Nope are still acquaintances they help each other in their goals and sometimes consider themselves love interests.

### Jim

Jim is Nope's oldest friend as the two are inseparable. They often work together in challenges.

## Forms

In later seasons Nope shows the ability to change forms, this is possibly due to his new outlooks being more complicated and them not all being able to be housed in a single form.

### Shadow Form

In Nope's Shadow form he becomes purest black with red eyes and mouths alongside a background shadow.

His normal attacks become a lot more fire/shadow powered.

### Ultra Form

In his Ultra Form Nope gets a 15x power boost alongside powerful attacks beyond what he's normally capable of, however this fromform is unstable and can't be maintained without paying lifeforce.

## Specific Equipment

### Leather Inventory

Although it does look like a small bag, it can hold more stuff than it seems. Imagine it as an RPG inventory, which can hold almost anything, even people like Combo. This way, Nope is able to bring lots of paraphernalia without the bag ever weighing him down. He often uses it to carry items like swords. This is, however, not an infinite bag.

### Bluesword

A basic sword often used by Nope. Its handle allows Nope to swing it with momentum and power. It requires, quite easily, the least strength. It is, though, the weakest of the swords.

### The Real Light Saber

It's a sword made out of LED lights. It's a joke weapon only.

### Nex Kolibri

Nopenop's weapon of choice. A sharp longsword ornamented with a vine handle, and what seems to be a stain of blood going across the blade.
