LunarVerdict

**Nox** or **Zhengzhong Huang** is the mysterious member of the Aether Dragons. From the start he doesn't really know his family let alone had one before. He was adopted into the guild and was watched by house Salvatore. Nox in his young age already showed alot of combat prowess and a strong control of time. Nox is one of the members of the guild who doesn't talk or interact with anyone aside from house Salvatore. In his very nature he is brutal, cold and always serious, not really interested love or any sort of relationship. Though it changes as he meets **The Oceans matriarch** LunarVerdict, who he found interesting and found himself slowly falling in love with her. Eventually marrying her, gaining twin sons and daughters that changed his entire life. **(He doesn't really know why house Salvatore took him in and watched over him but expresses gratitude to them)**.

## Appearance

*Due to the effects of his abilities it causes his hair and eyes to change color when he uses his powers and magic*

Nox wears armor that is very similar to his wife but less on the amount of armor to allow him to move freely. He wears a yellow, blue and black colored hanfu. His top robe is left abit open, and wears black and yellow arm guards. Wears black hanfu pants and he goes bare footed. He also wears fur coat that trails down his right shoulder and trails down to his arm. And has shoulder armor around his left arm.

Nox appears to have fair skin with multiple scars over his entire body including his face. He has white silver long hair reaching down to his waist line and has blue and yellow glowing streaks on his hair. He is muscular in built and he stand in "7"9" height. He has yellow gold eyes that glow in the darkness with slith pupils and his sclera's are deep black in color. And has fangs that are times 10 of of his biting force. His hands and feet form of that of dragon claws and bits of scales are on his feet and hands. unlike other demons, Nox appears to be one but his colors are far softer yet looking very menacing. He has a long dragon tail with spikes on it.

In normal events he appears to have midnight blue hair and shimmering diamond eyes when everything is normal, giving the sign that he enjoys the peace around him.

When during a peaceful day, he just wears light robes and ties his hair up, making him look like a human and less threatening.

## Personality and Character

Nox is very strict and serious in person, always working alone. Though he would often train alongside Mekhane and Marusaki Salvatore in a young age,they were also the ones who named him ***Zhengzhong Huang*** he eventually formed a brother relationship with them. Though he never once smiled in reality and only finds himself to be an outcast who was just brought in because of his abilities which he didn't mind, he causes alot fear and hostile attitude in battle. Which scares his enemies and opponents. Nox comes off calm and humble, just doing alot of good before he passes on. Nox is not really good with talking socially with others, he rather talks serious. He does greatly show a fatherly and kind figure to others in need even though he thinks that he doesn't deserved the praise and thanks from others.

Nox in his nature was quite intelligent and wise in every decision and move he made in battle. One of the reasons he prefers to be alone when in missions. He lacks one thing, is that it's okay to ask for help when the situation gets out of hand. When he got saved by Mekhane and Marusaki in his mission, which allowed him to open up more with them and everyone around him.

He already knows how attractive he looks and is quite suave but with a serious tone. And He probably knows how many girls clearly wants him. Upon meeting LunarVerdict, who doesn't show any sort of love interest in him. Rather making him uncomfortable, LunarVerdict displays her loving, gentle and understanding personality which leads Nox to think that a gentle woman like her, would be one of the people who are scared of in battle. She understands how much he never considers himself to be apart of house Salvatore. **(Compared herself who had a loving family.)**

He does find himself slowly falling in love with her which lead alot of funny moments with Mekhane and Marusaki. Leading to himself asking them what it means to fall in love, he is fully aware of the their rivalry with Lysistratos and he can already tell Marusaki's dangerous intent. When he found out of his betrayal, Nox thought that they took it to far. And was angry that their rivalry lead up to this point. *He ignored it, knowing this issue is about their family, again not considering himself to be part of their family even though he was cared and watched by house Salvatore, he doesn't find himself to be worthy to be a Salvatore. Knowing that his is a child who was taken in, out of pity and loneliness.*

When he confessed to LunarVerdict, to which she was having thoughts eventually agreed to his confession. The birth of his twin sons and daughter changed his entire life. Showing a great deal of care, protection and love to his new family. Its not only after the war that he was stuck at the Aether Dragons, separated and doesn't know what happening to his family and now his daughter who gone missing, and realms all closed off from each other lead him to wait one day to meet them again.

## Abilities

Nox, has strong knowledge about time, he would often study his opponents before attacking them. Nox also has enhanced eyesight, allowing him to survey battlefields with ease. Nox prefers to fight with speed and strength making him a hard hitter and a very fast opponent to go against. He has never fought alongside multiple groups, and one of the reasons he prefers to fight alone. His abilities allow him to slip in out of time. Nox is very intelligent and wise to everything he does. Not much is known about Nox his abilities, his species or himself. But has enhanced conditions combining this with his chrono force. He attacks and inflicts high damage without even making a single movement.

In the current era Nox made and owns a maze like fortress that helps train and test the potential of others. This was displayed when the main characters enters. The fortress acts as his domain where his ability can distort, shape and create the fortress. Allowing him to throw attacks at the challenger even split them up to different in his fortress, in reality he wishes to see the bond and team work of a team. In his rules only one teammate can reach him, to achieve this. The challenger and their team, works together to reach him and get pass the maze. Seeing this gives him a satisfied outlook at the world. The fortress serves as a home and testing field.

### Chrono Force

He is able to utilize time manipulation with his physical combat, making him more faster than his opponent. Only seeing a after image when he moves making anyone unable to predict his movements. Hence why he barely wears armor. Can cause the victim to be disoriented, making them relive an attack or lose track of time, making them vulnerable to the user. In some cases, he moves but doesn't but lands a fatal blow to his enemy. Without even making single movement. The following below are the technique he uses;

* **Time Acceleration:** He can increase his speed to overwhelm his opponent with ease and this allows him to accelerate/speed up time for himself or others up to practically light speed while still moving normally. He can also control others speed
* **Time Reduction:** He can slow time down to various degrees while being able to move normally, either slowing time for a certain target or affecting everything but the himself. he can slow down opponents to avoid attacks and dampen movements.

* **Time Stopping:** He can freeze his opponent making himself move freely. While his opponent is freezed in place he can damage his opponent and the moment he unfreeze time his opponent is able to feel the damage he conflicted on to them.
* **Chrono Vision:** Lets him see the effects and previous uses of time abilities including space time. In other cases, he can see other things aside from effects and previous uses. He can see buildings and areas what they look like in the past, like a fixed wall, he can simply reverse his vision to see the huge wall that destroyed, allowing him enter.
* **Time Jumping:** He can send and trap anyone in another time, for example, he can send another 300 years into the past and victim cannot return to the present. This can also work if sending the target into the future. He rids of enemies by sending them back/forward in time, never to return. He does this to make his enemy suffer and he even uses this to play his opponents minds. It will stop if he orders the time jump to stop and release his victim.
* **Temporal Construct:** can turn time into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence. In other cases he can bestow his time energy into a object allowing him to channel his energy into a weapon.
* **Time Dilation:** He can distort any period of time to stop it, to redo any event, slow down time, or create a space where time moves faster or slower than outside it. He can use the distortion of time to reverse the flow and throw enemies into disarray or distort other time manipulators causing their powers to not work properly. To know his using this technique is when his eyes dilate to activate it.
* **Time Awareness:** He can sense/detect any alterations in the time-stream, allowing him to discern alternate timelines, sense use/users of Time Travel, etc. He detects other users of Time Manipulation and Space-Time Manipulation when they use their abilities to alter time. This lets him know, that he's not the only one who's altering things around him.

### **Reality bending**

When his passive activates he control the very rules of logic and reason to perform feats that are not only impossible but also inconceivable. This was displayed when he altered his surroundings, everything around him folds, palaces that were there are either upside down or in another place and the changes of gravity. *(This causes the real world environment become his playground when fighting others)*. This allows him to negate users varies for gravity, time-space and even other time users. In some cases he has other techniques that he uses when reality bending becomes active. (*Note: He only activates reality bending when the situation becomes dangerous or when everything becomes challenging)* This happened in his fortress when the main characters put up quite a challenge. The following below shows a few techniques that he uses.

* ***\*WiIl be added soon\****

## **Weakness**

Not much is known about his weakness. But deep down he is very paranoid about the people he meets. Sometimes this paranoia gets the best of him, and would make him act recklessly. He is highly protective of his family, even after he was separated from them he goes into extreme lengths to get them out of danger. If anyone were to use his family against him, he goes berserk and breaks his cool and relax aura. This will reveal a more hateful and frightening side of himself. Making him become hostile until he is able to calm himself down. Using all these tricks against may cause him to act recklessly.
