Nox

**Nox** or code number An113Ou12y764 is an Overseer Unit in **Project ANGEL**. He is one of the many refugees from South **Trestkania** and had suffered all the way until he joined the **Xero Squad**.

## Physical De**scription**

Nox stands out from the rest in Project ANGEL due to his lack of prosthetic body parts. Nox has dark green hair, dark green murky eyes, and a deep scar around his neck that resembles a scar from strangling.

During combat, Nox wears clothes fit for stealth since he specializes in support and illusions, wearing a black and green suit with a scarf around his neck to hide his scars, a glove around his right hand to prevent accidentally using too much power, and an advanced head gear that allows him to deactivate enemy defenses and security.

## Personality

Nox is a stern, introverted, straight forward man that just wants to rest after the war ends. Because of the living conditions he had to live in before, Nox had always desired freedom, away from the shackles of the cruel reality called war. So in order to have a peaceful life like he had always wanted, he knew that he had to attend to war to finally turn the gears of time.

Though he may appear as a man who has a lot to think about to his head mainly due to his appearance, but in the inside he's an energetic man who always likes to talk to himself and just likes being alone, so whenever he meets Anellia or Kythalos, he has this strange feeling of comfort due to their similarities, which is being introverts.

He may not notice it himself, but weird misunderstandings is centered all around him, being the proclaimed "most pitiful person in Project ANGEL". It also adds up even more when his eyebags all came from gaming while erasing his sense of tiredness. This is all because of Alathea, the main culprit of his situation from spreading false rumors.

## Background

Nox never had a comfortable childhood in his life due to his parents. Because his mother was terminally ill and being in debt due to his runaway father who spent all their life savings on gambling, he had to work daily just to pay for her medicine. It only got worse when he was targeted by loan sharks who would threaten to kill him if he weren't to pay it on time. Due to this, his sense of freedom was scarce, all he did everyday was take care of his sick mother who drinks, work 18 hours a day, and sleep as this regular routine repeats.

But this didn't last long, since the **Great Morze War** has started and South Trestkania is on the brink of being destroyed, his mother's condition has been getting worse lately and now lacks the money for her medicine. Due to such a desperate situation, 3 armed men and a scientist suddenly came to their house and offered him a contract. That contract states that he has been elected as one of the first people to try out the medicine to save the world during such crucial times and he couldn't simply just turn away the money given to him as an extra, it was enough money to live comfortably in their entire life.

Despite the risks, he agreed to such a contract and followed them to the designated place, but all that did not end well. In truth, the so-called medicine was actually the ANGEL serum, the serum that **Michael Evláveia** himself was researching on and Nox was elected to be one of the first test subjects to take such serum. The process was so painful that he wanted to end it all, but the scientists and Michael Evláveia didn't allow that and even restricted him from dying, forcing him to wear a collar that tightens his neck whenever he has the urge to kill himself. For years, he had to suffer from the painful dosage daily until such research was completed, it was only when Michael Evláveia was finally exposed his suffering finally ended.

People may think that Nox lived such a tragic life, being injected by a painful dose of failed ANGEL serums daily, but without anyone noticing, he eventually lost the ability to feel pain, or in other words, he tricked himself into believing the pain had disappeared. On December 18, 2102, Michael Evláveia was finally caught at the hands of Alathea Guishe, and they were all given the freedom and money to live for 10 years without working. Nox finally got what he wanted, but what does he have now in the end of all of this? He was informed that his mother died a long time ago and his house was destroyed due to an Eldritch pylon suddenly invading, which turned the town into a wasteland. All he truly had was the authority to construct illusions to erase something important to them. Everything important to him was taken away and it all stemmed down to the core of it all, The Great Morze War.

Ever since that day, he decided to join Project ANGEL on September 24, 2103 just to find a place he could die from and be proud of it or last until the end. Nox was already an ANGEL unit long before the ANGEL serum was completed, but due to his immunity, the SERAPH serum had little to no effect on him and was instead assigned to be a SERAPH unit.

## Relationships

### **Squadmates**

#### **Anellia Thena**

One of his few friends. Since the two of them belong in the same squad, Nox was forced to get along with his squad members, but because of his introverted behavior, it took a long time for him to even be recognized and was concluded like a nobody until he showed his battle prowess.

Luckily, Anellia was the same type of person as Nox; an Introvert, stern and a clueless person, but exclude the clueless part. From start to end, they act like distant siblings who do not know how to start a conversation until a third party intrudes and starts it.

#### **Lux Lumina**

Another one of Nox's close friends. Due to such circumstances, these two developed a weird relationship with one another. One helps the entire squad without hesitation, and the other finds his inner potential to be interesting.

Despite having almost the same level of Anellia in terms of socializing skills, he gets along with everyone in the squad decently well since he's a good guy at heart. But since Lux Lumina was the only one who saw Nox talking to himself in an energetic manner due to her ability to see their soul's goodness, she only found Nox more interesting than ever and started making him her toy to poke fun with.

#### **Orion Veracus**

The squad leader of the Xero Squad. Nox wasn't supposed to be in the Xero Squad in the first place. Because this squad was filled with monsters that built up achievements enough to overwhelm the country as a whole if information was leaked, he felt out of place and thought he didn't belong in such a prestigious squad. Yet Orion insisted that he joins this squad because he picked him not from pity, but his potential.

Because of this, Nox developed a sense of respect from Orion who does not discriminate between SERAPHs and ANGELs and a spark in his life was ignited. He may have lost everything, but he can just build it all again from the ground where it left off.

#### **Eskieth Eden**

The most troublesome of the bunch. Due to Eskieth's behavior, he found her to be the most hard to handle out of the bunch. All the members are carefree for themselves, but the one who likes to meddle around the most is Eskieth and he likes to bug Nox a lot. Their relationship wasn't the best at the start because she looked down at Nox when a mere SERAPH entered a prestige squad, but all of it was flipped upside down when he saw his true potential.

Ever since the day Eskieth saw his true potential, she still keeps bugging him with it, but instead, it's about giving her the illusion to erase her sense of pain so she can experiment on her explosives more. Nox may not notice it, but Eskieth really sees him as her little brother when she learns of Nox's background.

### **Acquaintances**

#### **Alden Thena**

Alathea's assistant. These two barely interacted with each other, but since he is Kythalos' apprentice and Alden is the second in command in Kythalos' squad, they were bound to interact with each other.

Since Alden was a tired man because of their superiors being very reckless, he found him as a kindred spirit on being used as a sandbag from their superiors.

#### **Kythalos**

Nox's master. Since the day when Nox found out Kythalos' true hidden ability he had been hiding from everyone except the major squad leaders, he was threatened to be deposed immediately. In panic, Nox immediately tried to calm him down by turning into his disciple. Kythalos had his doubts on him since this topic was brought out of nowhere. Thankfully, due to Nox's prowess in illusions and trickery, he managed to live another day.

Since Kythalos is known for being a strict yet a gentleman who minds his own business, Nox's first impression of him was a symbol of respect, until he became his disciple. Ever since then, he was subjected to training his abilities through extremely painful ways and immediately developed fear at the sight of small fiber cables.

#### **Alathea Guishe**

Second Founder of Project ANGEL. Since Alathea saved Nox from the unrelentless hell of being experimented on by Michael Evláveia, Nox found her to be his savior, nothing else. But he lost everything unknowingly when he was experimented on, he had no choice but to join Project ANGEL to end the war so he can live freely in the future without anymore tragedies happening.

They don't often interact with each other, but since Nox doesn't know how to talk to girls that much, he gets nervous around Alathea. The other members of the Xero Squad doesn't have any common sense so this doesn't work with the squad.

## Abilities

### Wing of Cyphisonia

Nox's wings are more of a special case. Since Nox specializes on controlling one's being whenever he touches someone, his wings has an appearance of a long black and white sharp prism that extends and splits in an extremely fast manner until it takes a hold of its target. Whenever he uses his abilities, the color of his wings starts to turn uncontrollable, turning into a kaleidoscope and will soon start to erase a thought you possess the moment you touch him or his wings.

* Cyphisonia used to be able to not transform into a weapon, but since Anellia owed him a favor once, he can now turn his wings into a sniper and has the ability to erase their thoughts and the firepower to level an entire building.
* Nox's true extent of his abilities is no joke that even Alathea fears it if he were to ever turn against her. His true ability is the power to erase a thought or anything a person may feel. So if used to the fullest extent, he has the power to erase your entire being except your hollow shell until he releases the binding.

## Trivia

* Nox isn't his true name but because he hated the name his parents gave him, a sick mother who died from excess drinking and a father that ran away and left a debt, he obviously despised the two of them to the point he discarded his old name. He got his name "Nox" because he found the name cool when Anellia called him that.
* Cyphisonia came from a mix of Cypher (Zero or Null) and Sonia (Wisdom) because of the potential he has when he fully masters his ability to rend his targets to absolute zero.
* People tend to get the wrong idea by seeing him as someone who had the worst but because of his ability, he refuses to think so and denies it. Yet all this just made it worse.
