Noah Panine

Spoilers Ahead!This is a reminder to not metagame. If you wish to remain spoiler-free, please navigate away from this page.

## Overview

The escaped experiment from a distant and long abandoned Research outpost. The give-away that he's not an ordinary human is his pronounced canines, rounded ears, and the tail maneuvering on it's own accord. Transported to the Rift during a test run of his latest gadget, Noah's ship was tunneled through a rift and his trusty ship- The Red Tail- was sent cascading through the blackened skies. A former terrorist and experimental fugitive has been given solace from such titles, a second chance at a new life.

## Appearance

Standing at 6'2" and weighing in at 240lbs, Noah is a fit and lean man, even with his fully developed vestigial features, he is blessed with what may make a man handsome to someone. Strong jawline and a heart shaped face, with shaggy and unkempt hair reaching down to his lower back. His musculature is one of hard work and strict dieting, a lean and powerful frame. The tail has 6 thick rings on it, alternating from his natural fur color to a lighter tone. Almost always wearing an eyepatch, and on his right side, is a robotic arm attached at the shoulder socket.

## Loadout

**Disclaimer:** Most of this is flavor text that will be adapted into the perimeters of the CRP system! If any of this seems too luxurious for the setting, please let me know!

Noah's Load out consists of two things and with one goal in mind, protection. His suit and his robotic arm. The Guardian Angel Defense Suit, created by him, a suit of heavily modifiable power armor. And his Aegis Prosthetic, a versatile arm with a few combat features and capabilities. The specs are as follows.

**The Guardian Angel Defense Suit**

**Durable:** It’s armor, made for defending the wearer, not killing someone. The plates are 5 millimeters thick. The suit weighs roughly 270 lbs on its own, not including extras.

**Heavy Padding:** The helmet is a separate piece that is put on, and then locked into the suit. Thick padding, A rubbery material, along with relatively thick armor, to protect a noggin inside.

**Cyclops Cannon:** His singular optic is not just for "looks" (Pun. Laugh.) It also serves as a Laser Cannon. After a charge time of 6 seconds, the laser fires a superheated beam of light, burning at dangerous heat, even dodging will result in a severe sunburn a few hours after. Firing this weapon consumes much of the sustainable energy reserved in the suit's batteries, repeated use risks being ejected and requiring a back up battery.

**Folding Violium Shield:** A 35 lb Violium Heater shield. 0.12” thick, 2.5 feet wide, 3.5 feet tall, folds away into a compartment for ergonomics.

**How does it work?:** The suit consists of multiple layers, The under armor, over plating, and the heavy armor. It is a heavily modular system, meaning that If Noah wants to add something, there are connectors or “Plugs” that can accommodate whatever he wants to build there. Sort of like a usb port, but for a suit, and a weapon. The suit itself is for combat against personnel, and larger robotic, but the mods can accommodate the situation they were built for. The suit is controlled via a neural sensor, along the length of his spine. The suit has a Computer in it, lined in cerulium, to protect the AI within. The AI is named Voxel, it assists in combat and other tasks that may need a second opinion. The suit’s skeleton uses high torque durasteel motors, in order to provide strength to pick heavy weights (Maximum lift, for the entire body is 600lb; 310 with just the arms) The motors can also assist in hard hitting attacks.

Along side the physical attributes, the suit's highly advanced AI has it's own set of protocols it can independently run. These protocols are meant to be automated assists in a pinch.

**Frostwind Protocol:** The suit purges its coolant cells through tubing at the arms, blasting a spray of coolant from the arms, back, and calves of the wearer. If all coolant is expended in this last ditch effort to thwart off an enemy, the suit will eject the pilot and shut down. The range of this is 4 ft.

**Chondroblast protocol:** named after the **cells that play an important role in the formation of cartilage,** The Suit’s AI makes readings of vitals, if it detects joint or bone damage, it will lock the joints in said area. It can be manually overridden, but it has the Pilot’s health in mind.

**Tag team protocol:** Should it be requested, Tag team protocol is a risky move- but it can turn the tides of a fight. The suit ejects it's wearer, and proceeds to fight, coordinating it's attacks in conjunction to her Pilot's attacks. This can be a few things:

-Following up the target's momentum from a previous punch, with a punch in the opposite direction to maximize force.

-Pinning the target to allow for easier, and more precise blows.

-Assisting in a throw, by either helping lift with the throw, or being in the middle of the person's trajectory, perhaps shoulder tackling someone as they fall to the ground, adding extra impact.

**Aegis Prosthetic**

The prosthetic arm is made from an organic and metal alloy. (How was this made? I don't know. Science and Fiction are the two ingredients.) Leaving the arm to be flexible while still retaining some useful properties; damage resistance, high heat resistance. The arm itself is intended to be flexible as well as durable, given that it's his last decent arm before he has to switch back to his old prototype prosthetic until he can create a better version. However this arm is considered to be the pinnacle of his prosthetic creations, and he holds it in high regard.

**Fold out shield:** There is a shield that folds out, by having the "skin" of the arm split down the forearm and fold outward, becoming rigid and non-flexible. It is capable of withstanding calibers up to basic 7.62 ammunition.

**Claws:** One of the few offensive capabilities in Noah's Loadout, the claws extend from the finger tips, and are shaped like small broadhead arrow tips.

His arm has a “Death grip” Command Meaning, once removed and commanded with a voice command, they tighten into a fist, So if he detaches it and it’s still holding something, It won't let go. It will magnetise and either stick to the grappled person's armor, or it will stick to nearby metal objects like a gun, making it more difficult to aim. The death grip name came from the original idea being that it would have an explosive compound stored in it, but seeing the danger of just wearing an explosive around in his arm- He repurposed the idea into an electro-shock. It will become electrically charged, destroying the components in the arm, however it may give him time to flee or land a good blow while the target is seized.

**More to come. WIP**

## Personality

Noah is generous and always trying to make friends, whether that be socializing with a friendly conversationalist, or spitefully befriending someone who wants absolutely nothing to do with him. He's arrogant and certainly loves talking about himself, though he's not without compassion for others and is almost always lending a helping hand in the most trivial of tasks, so he's not fully narcissistic, perhaps just overly confident. Noah's reserved when it comes to his emotions, years of compartmentalizing his negative feelings has trained him well enough to stay smiling despite the situation. Sadness, betrayal, and just being down in the dumps are reserved for someone he trusts.

However- despite his emotional barrier he keeps up, his tail is a mind of it's own, and will always give away his deception, if anyone were to pay attention to it, it'll show his true feelings on what ever topic or mental stimulation may be brought up.

A guide to his tail's tells. (These are going to be keywords used in describing what his tail is doing at the time.)

-Slithering/writhing: Deceptive, he's lying. Predatory, he's aggressive.

Wriggling or swirling: Happy or Idle. He's content with the situation and thoroughly invested.

Squirming: Uncomfortable or embarrassed.

Stilled or Halted: Surprise, befuddlement, confusion. This is typically that his brain metaphorically rebooted at what ever was said or happened.

Coiling around his waist: He's defensive. Similar to crossing your arms, he's either feeling guilty or he's nervous or fearful and instinctually protecting his organs.

## Relationships

Valerie Fitzgerald - "Val's pretty fuckin' cool- I like to think that we're friends, not sure what she'd tell ya about me, but- I'm sure it's filled with jealousy at how amazing and cool I am. Between you and me though... She's on par if not a lot cooler than me, honestly."

V - "V?! What a weird fuckin' name... He's a cool guy though, seems to have a good head on his shoulders and his priorities are primo. He's a good brother to Valerie. I'd have his back- Whether or not he has mine is questionable but- Fuck- Self preservation is not high on my priority list."

Riona Flyt - "Riona doesn't know that her Ex is around! She probably thinks I am dead as fuck- Wouldn't be surprised, I got kidnapped and disappeared without a trace! Now though- It's fuckin' nutty that we just managed to end up in the same place. Fate isn't real though- Purely by chance."

## Background

**DISCLAIMER:** This is a WIP. :)

Abducted at a very young age, back when aliens were plaguing the media in the mid 1950's, kept on ice and under a close and watchful surveillance, until the Ministry had finally purchased the Cryo-pod. Noah- Aged 4 had finally been awoken from his four century slumber, only to find himself on a distant world in a distant time. What follows is a collection of documentation that were digitally recorded and kept in a black box in Noah's ship.

**VEP Experimentation on the other races**

Research led by: Dr. Friedrich Kriegler

Researched funded by: Chancellor Shell

The reasons for such a study could be ground breaking, inclusion in the Ministry’s knowledge, the other races are full of so much untapped potential. The Florans show a natural intellect that rivals many, only failing to grasp concepts of logical thinking. The Humans are incredibly adaptable and I find that we will see the most success in that particular test subject, as well as the Hylotl Test subject. It seems to be that Novakid biology and Avian biology conflict with the experimentation, and they died shortly after the procedure had concluded.

Despite those minor setbacks, the objective is simple. Successfully improve the flawed and inferior DNA of the Hylotl, Human, and Floran. After the procedure was successfully completed and all subjects were stable, some needed to be restrained. The data collection was simple, blood sample, tissue samples of most organs, including brain matter to study. For the human and Hylotl, the entire procedure was a success. For the floran… An utter failure, we only created an inferior mockery of what our research strived to accomplish, but all was not lost with that Floran, and we continued experimentation on it.

Firstly, the greatest success of the three, the Human. Its intellect has surpassed an average human adult’s, retaining complex Ministry theories only taught in the greatest of universities. Its physical change was similar to the old race’s change. His vestigial features came out to shine. We examined each and every known human anatomy book, and nearly every vestigial feature was accounted for. Here were the documented changes to the humans anatomy.

-A tail at the base of the spine- The vertebrae are under developed, and the nerve pathways have generated directly from the nerves in the groin- Not ideal however an interesting result.

-Ears are rounded and larger, and their mobility is astonishing, truly a superior trait lost by the Human evolution.

-Senses are increased, smell, taste, and sight, it appears the human's peripheral vision has become more dialed in, and stimuli are responded to with laser focus, until another unscripted stimuli starts.

-A side effect, Muscle density has increased, the human is heavier and seems to increase in density instead of mass when physical training incurs.

despite this… Its bone structure seemed to be only added onto. It pains me to say that despite its tremendous intellect and physical prowess, it’s still inferior. An enlarged ‘Pituitary gland’ has been accounted for the decrease in the attention span of the young human, and from what we can tell from it’s tail, the vertebra in it are small, soft, and underdeveloped, leaving just a cord of pure muscle and uninterrupted nerve pathways, causing heightened sensitivity in it.

We have begun searching for a suitable replacement for the Human Male, perhaps it is a fluke and we can get this right. Unfortunately, the DNA of humans nowadays are… Muddled by radiation. Until then we will continue to keep research and data collection so we may improve on this being’s race.

The rest of the pages are marked out, seemingly redacted.

**Psychiatric Soap Notes**

Noah seems to be adjusting well, his time in the facility is not a gentle one, constant exposure to things that would leave even the strongest of minds psychologically broken seem to be something the little human can just shake off like it’s nothing. He has some serious compartmentalization issues, and these need to be addressed, but unfortunately asking for more compassionate treatment of the research subjects would seemingly be more trouble than it’s worth.

Today Noah was begging to speak with me and I decided to entertain the little creature, he is rather adorable, such a fluffy little fella and he’s rather funny to let talk. His interests seem to be in Avionics and robotics, a very childish dream if anyone should ask. Although he began doing something he has not done in the 5 years I have been working with them. He opened up emotionally. As far as my understanding, he wanted to understand a lot of the emotions he felt. A side effect of the procedure has become shockingly apparent, despite displaying little reaction or emotion. He has been letting it well up inside of him, until today.

I fear he will soon become unresponsive to cognitive tests and further psychiatric evaluation, so I put in a request for more time in their schedules for more psychiatric evaluations. It may put the project at risk if our only living proof of the procedure working becomes an unresponsive husk.

**A Collection of Miniknog News Articles**

The unfortunate events that transpired at the [Redacted Information] Research Facilities have been under investigation for quite some time, three test subjects have escaped captivity with the assistance of a Dr. Pamela Panine. The Test Subjects all three are considered highly valuable and imperative to retrieve, should we further our research. The Ministry cannot lose such valuable pieces of data.

Nine years ago we lost extremely imperative data that was going to kickstart a new age in the universe, and it’s with a heavy heart that this announcement must be made. This morning at 8:30 AM, the fugitive subject Noah Panine had launched an attack on one of our research facilities. It is considered extremely dangerous and is responsible for the deaths of 34 researchers and 9 civilians. This tragic incident cannot go unpunished, if the fugitive is spotted, do not scare it off, discreetly inform the local authorities.

Rejoice! The Terrorist Noah Panine has been captured and is currently being held in a high security research camp, where it is undergoing much experimentation and behavioral adjustment therapy. This is a wonderful day for the Ministry and a key part in our advancement in a unified universe.

The Terrorist Noah Panine has once again, escaped due to a fault in the guard’s intellect and gene pool, thankfully we have purged the guard’s bloodline in hopes to cleanse our bright futures in this universe, if any information can be given, the families of those who come forward will be rewarded with extra ration packs for a week!
