* Baxter Eberusu
* Red Noir
* Bat Marron

Brown Bat Miraculous

**Baxter Eberusu** is the main protagonist of *Miraculous Red*. He is a student in Miss Quatre's class at Collège Françoise-Dupont in Paris, France and a Professional gamer who wants to stay on top of other video gamers. He even owns a afterschool club. With the Red Miraculous, when inhabited by Red, Baxter transforms into the superhero **Red Noir**, gaining the power of Red Aura, strength, speed, durability, and creation to stop Doomsday and his akumatized villains.

Baxter also obtains a second miraculous in that of the form of the Brown Bat Miraculous inhabited by Bubba to become **Bat Marron**.

He is also the younger brother of Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

## Appearance

### Physical appearance

Baxter appears as an average teenager. At first he has shorter hair similar to his sister Marinette from the Dupain-Cheng side. He also has blue eyes. Later in the series, Baxter lets his hair grow out more as his bangs now pass the side of his head alittle more.

### Civilian attire

Baxter wears glasses on his face. He wears a Red T-Shirt with a Black Hoodie on top of it. He also wears black pants and black shoes. He also wears a belt around his waist as that is where the Red Miraculous is located.

Baxter also doesn't wear his Black Hoodie whenever it gets hotter and will usually come in wearing just his original outfit as usual minus the Black Hoodie.

#### As Red Noir

When transforming into Red Noir. Baxter has on a Red Mask that lights his eyes cyan. He wears a Red and Blue suit that has Cyan armor that lights up on his body mimicking Chest and Abs. He wears the black belt that he normally wears as a civilian, only for it to change that says the words "Red Noir" on each side of the belt, and has on Red Boots.

Later down the line and onward during Miraculous Red 2: Omniskull, Red Noir would mainly retain everything on the suit, except the blue is now instead black on his suit, and his eyes don't glow cyan anymore and are now plain white.

## Personality

Baxter is described as a cool-native, calm and normal human-being who is often quiet around places. He's most often determined for himself and for others and will do just about anything that comes to his mind (Ex: Actually requiring a full-on Club with Gamers in School). He shows positive emotions when around his friends as he has support for most of his friends in Miss Quatre's Class.

He is sometimes easily paranoid, even from a nightmare or foreseeing something in the future. When he senses ascent of an akuma, he will often ask to leave class or immediately make his way from what he was doing and immediately turn into Red Noir. His paranoia could also kick in to the fact he will often run away from Amokized Sentimonsters, in which often acts into a plan to beat them.

Even if he thinks he is late for class in some situations of accidentally arriving early. He is at first nervous, but then when it's really early, he immediately calms down.

Speaking of him becoming nervous. Baxter would sometimes smile while either blushing or nervous around people, especially around Valery Eruzu as he hides the fact that he hides his true feelings for Valery.

Baxter is also able to stand up to anyone that hurts his younger brother or tries to mess with his life due to his sensitivity, which Baxter would stand up and shield his brother. He shows a deep bond to his little brother especially when things are about to get messy in School or around in Paris. This was shown when Keith Lewis was arguably hurting his brother and Baxter took it upon himself to stand up to Keith.

As Red Noir, Baxter turns rather comedic, hot-headed, and self-aware in most of his personality and often breaks the fourth wall. He is sometimes serious if something bothers him or if anything troubles him causes him to become completely serious. However, he makes up for it for being a playful hero and prefers fooling around. Later down the line, he's learned how to keep it in balance, usually showing a balanced personality.

## Abilities

### As a civilian

As a normal civilian. Baxter's main trait as a civilian is his ability to play extremely good in video games, draw a good amount of art, and hosting a club. He is undefeated in Ultimate Mecha Strike III and in Ultimate Mecha Strike IV. He prefers both digital, and traditional art and publishes them for the world to see.

He is capable of running at least up to 10 miles staying in physical shape at the time each day.

However, his most trademark trait is his ability to sense an Akuma's presence, this trait came to play as a special power to his autism, that allows him to sense or react which causes him to follow the akuma to it's host. He usually calls this trait, his **Sixth Sense**.

### As Red Noir

As the superhero Red Noir, Baxter gains superhuman abilities, the ability to run and jump on walls, and gains weapons such as the Red Blade and the Grappling Claws. However, his most trait in this form is his superpower Red Aura, a creation power that can turn any other color into red, infuse the red-like aura around his body for combat mode, or create any form of new weapon through Red Aura: Special Weapon. He is also capable of flying in the air and runs at incredibly quick speeds, running up to 200 MPH.

He also has the ability to quickly react, a trait where Red Noir can sense anything incoming and quickly either dodge or catch the attack under a second. He also has the ability to defuse a defeated villain with the use of Red Revert, a power under the Red Aura to revert any damage and everything back to normal, erasing the memory of the villain in everyone, including it's host the Akuma had possessed, the power also disintegrates any Akuma in the process that possessed the villain too.

However, the downside of being Red Noir is that much like Ladybug and Cat Noir's abilities, Red Noir's is similar and using much more of Red Aura can actually deplete his time as Red Noir. When this happens, the letters from his belt will disappear on his belt starting with R in "Noir" then will finish with R in "Red", after that his light blue chest and ab plates will suddenly turn Red meaning Baxter is about to revert back to his normal self.

Overall, Red Noir is seen as the strongest Miraculous user, but Baxter has yet to show his full potential within the Miraculous' power itself.

### As Bat Marron

As the superhero Bat Marron, Baxter gains the same abilities as other miraculous superheroes such as super speed, super strength and automatically gains the power of flight. He also has the ability to throw Batarangs from his belt and has the superpower Hyperion Sight, in which when being used, Bat Marron has the ability of super hearing like a bat and can channel it's power within his weapons and body to power himself up during a fight.

Bat Marron suffers the same weaknesses as the Red Noir variation, but Baxter's Bat Ring will have one wing disappear from each side first, then the body, and ears only leaving the head. Once the head is gone, Baxter will revert back to his normal self.

### Aqua Form

When accessing his aqua powers, Red Noir has the ability to breathe underwater and has enhanced swimming capabilities due to the fins on his feet. He is able to also able to use hydrokinesis by either creative a tide behind him or enhancing Red Aura with Water.

### Ice Form

When accessing his ice powers, Red Noir has the ability to handle extremely low temperatures, as well as move freely and quickly on the ice with his ice skates. He can also manipulate Ice and create cryokinetic abilities such as creating giant Ice Pillars.

### Sun/Fire Form

When accessing his fire powers, Red Noir has the ability to handle extremely high temperatures, and is completely immune to any heat-related attacks. He can also use pyrokinesis as shooting a fireball or creating a giant wave of fire around him.

### As Gold Noir

By merging both the Red and Brown Bat miraculouses, Red Noir enters a super form-like state now gaining both Red Aura and Hyperion Sight together as one superpower. He also has the ability to unlimitedly fly in the air and use his Red Aura that now is a golden color instead. The downside in this form is that there is a time limit to how long he can stay as Gold Noir and must finish the fight in quick fashion. He's also got a finishing move he calls upon called **Golden Strike**, in which he will fly up in the air past the orbit and then with enough Red Aura charged into his fist, will fall back down with his fist enhanced with Golden-like aura, once he hits the ground, it will cause a very huge golden explosion and the impact is so strong that a strong gust of wind happens and property damage is shown with broken glass from cars and homes and even can blow away trees. The Impact can also be strong to almost have actually tipped the Eiffel Tower itself over. This form is considered to be the strongest miraculous form in the series as it can withstand both the powers of Creation & Destruction combined together against him.

## Trivia

* Baxter's personality was actually based off on the real life Baxter Ewers' personality. In a statement, Baxter would note that "The character is based on himself and what he is like in the world of today".
* Baxter isn't physically related to the Dupain-Cheng Family, this was because of his oxygen being low at birth. He was given more blood from Sabine Cheng thus giving 2 last names and was able to live life normally.
* Red Noir's personality is based off of Deadpool, the merc from Marvel Comics. This can be summarized that Red Noir would gain the ability to break the fourth wall. However, he does maintain a balanced personality later down in the series.
	+ However, he also has inspiration from Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece for some of his character development as it was sited that he can use his Grappling Claw as an attack, similar to how Luffy could stretch his limbs to attack. Red Noir could also throw a barrage of punches and kicks similar to Luffy too.
		- When Red Noir announced his plan to be the strongest miraculous hero to Paris, this was similar to how Luffy would announce he would be Pirate King once he gets the One Piece.
* However he shares similarities to Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia. Baxter shares a similar backstory to that of Deku having once felt like a special nobody that got to be very special by gaining a Miraculous after saving Master Fu from being hit by a bus as a sign of thanks.
* Red Noir used to sport Blue colored shoulder pads, gauntlets and tights with black zigzags on his thighs, however he was since redesigned to now have the black on him and no longer has cyan eyes. This could be the reason why Metallic Blu wanted him to live up the name. This was also a reason to give Red Noir a much needed new code of paint.
* Baxter and Red both love pizza together.
* The real reason Baxter is able to sense an akuma's presence is due to his Dupain-Cheng blood kicking in as it would be extremely difficult to akumatize him.
* Baxter's secret technique in running away from Amokized Sentimonsters is a possible reference to the Joestar Family Secret Technique from *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*.
* Baxter's early design had him sporting facial hair with a mustache and beard, however in his reworked design he is shown without it, this is possibly due to the character being younger and staying around a younger age than Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
* Baxter and Marinette have multiple connections:
	+ Both wield a Miraculous that causes a creation (Red for Baxter, and Ladybug for Marinette)
	+ Baxter is apart of the Dupain-Cheng family as well.
	+ Both have a thing in gaming, however it is confirmed that when the two start to battle each other in Ultimate Mecha Strike III, it usually ends with a draw, meaning the two are eveningly matched in fighting games.
	+ Both have a crush on their partner (Valery Eruzu for Baxter, and Adrien Agreste for Marinette).
	+ Both of their kwamis are related (Tikki is shown as the older sister of Red).
	+ They both have an actual close friends that helps support them (Damian Ponceuses and Lexi Anderson for Baxter, and Alya Cesaire for Marinette).
		- They're friends also wield a Miraculous (Hornet Miraculous for Damian, and Fox Miraculous for Alya).
	+ They will also have a future encounter in a Miraculous Red video game.
	+ Baxter will often hide from her as Ladybug whenever he is Red Noir, this is due to being afraid of his identity being called out from her, and fearing that she may one day actually be akumatized and it may be up to him to save her.
	+ They go to the same school together, however they are in different classes.
* His responsibilities as a superhero not only include fighting akumatized villains but also patrolling, gaming and many other things in his life.
* It is confirmed that down the line Baxter will start to show his feelings towards Valery, as of right now, the only reason why he doesn't show them is because he becomes too nervous to show them to her.
* When in the Bat Marron persona, Baxter has a known line that he sometimes says to the akumatized villain saying "I am Bat Marron!". This could be a reference to Batman with his iconic line "I'm Batman!".
