Noël is best girl

“That’s correct, I’d like to give you the money so that you may buy your town's independence.”

-Noël Du Acier

Name:
Noël Du Acier

Race:
Human

Gender:
Female

Age:
19

Nationality:
Atlesian

Team:
BANK

Designation:
Assassin/Brawler

Appearance:

Noël Du Acier

Personality:

Noël is one of the kinder members of Bank. She is best described through her hard-working demeanor, her greed for money and her absolute devotion to her team. Her hard-working attitude comes from when she was just seven years old. Eleven years ago her parents lost nearly everything they had. She was put to work, trained by the best blacksmiths Atlas and two lives worth of favors could afford her. While she is no master blacksmith herself. She is a woman who was raised by a forge. She knows the ins and outs of smithing like a second language. She has worked tooth and nail to help her parents regain both the finances and the status they once held so dearly, while they aren’t truly there – they’re one their way.

Noël’s greed for money while incessant isn’t born purely out of sin and fear of poverty. Instead it has a slightly more noble birth. When her father first lost all of his money Noël has fond memories of their long days in the forge. One of those days he picked her up with his mighty log-like arms and heaved her onto his shoulder. He didn’t meet her wondering gaze, instead the fire was reflected deep in his iris. “Only the fools die rich Noël.” He said to her. “Get as much capital as you can in your life, spend what you must, what you’d like to, and then give it all away.” She has held that mantra very close to her heart ever since.

Noël’s team means quite a bit to her, though for her sake and their own she doesn’t make it known all too often. They got together only eight months ago, but even in that short amount of time they are a highly cohesive unit. She, Brennan, Albert, and Kek all spent the first few months dictating ways in which they’d rather be spending for time. But as push came to shove and the team couldn’t find words that sounded better than Bank – Brennan became the team leader. As soon as that decision passed over an air of ease settled over the team. It only took them three months as well.

Skills:
Noël has been taught since a young age to wield her two weapons a bow and arrow and a staff. Some of the best trainers Atlesian money can afford.

An incredible blacksmith for her age.

She utilizes a bow primarily for the stigma levied commonly against archers – primarily that they are weak in close range combat. Surprising them with her talent in utilizing her staff in close range combat attributing to many of her victories.

Financially stable, but in comparison to her teammates rather poor.

Weapons/Equipment:
Evangile de la Richesse (as pictured in her appearance): Noël’s weapon of choice is deceiving on many fronts. She typically carries it on her back, it appears to be a wooden stick. However it is actually made of steel. She typically utilizes it as a staff but is able to fire arrows from it using her dust strings. These strings form as Noël performs the motion of drawing a bow, otherwise they do not form. This works via a connection to Noël’s glove that forms the string between the tips of the staff. She uses dust arrows as well in order to create multiple effects. She has these tied so they hand around her lower back. The effects that an individual arrow can produce are: a stream of water along the trail of the arrow (moving at the same speed and direction as the arrow), a gust of wind following the arrow and spiraling outwards from its landing position, a constant stream of fire produced from the shaft of the arrow, and using earth dust, the ability to shatter ground that it comes into contact with as long as it is in the form of some dirt/mineral compound.

Semblance:
(Working title) Problèmes D’aujourd’hui: Noël once fully enveloping an object in her aura is able to make replications and considerable amounts of them at that. However, she may also utilize dust in place of her aura to replicate objects. Most commonly she uses her dust arrows, mid-flight or otherwise.

History:
Working on it

Relations with other characters:

Brennan: The leader of her team – Brennan and Noël have an odd relationship. It could be defined as a rivalry, but that suggests and animosity that is simply no longer present for these two. They work well in combat with one another and Noël trusts his orders in a fight completely. He guides where her arrows will fall and where her staff will strike, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Casually, he sometimes tells her to shut up – as do the rest of her team, but she doesn’t really mind as she talks a lot and tends to speak her mind too frequently. She also tends to find herself cooking for her team whenever she can, she worries they don’t eat very well let alone regularly.

(Subject to change) Albert: To Noël, Al is sort of like combining the financial sense of a business mogul with the tact and care of a surgeon. He tends to know exactly what the team needs and in turn Noël. Whether he decides to actually give Noël or the team what it needs is a case by case study. She finds that Albert is another strong tactician on the team and when Brennan is either too preoccupied or some form of improvisation is required she knows that Albert is well aware of the situation. Something Noël found confusing at first but later one nice about her teammate was that while he was quick to tell her to shut up like the rest of her team, he was very quick to defend her.

Kek: Noël knows the Tarik family well due to their owning of the major railroad systems in Atlas. Their reaches extend greatly across Remnant and that feeling extends to Kek. Always the quieter member of BANK at first Noël feared what he may be thinking, scheming. One spring eve Kek and Noël were walking home from a training session, they lived about the same way from the academy. A young man approached Noël scoffing to himself at her family’s misfortune, Kek perked up and shot the offender a look that could kill. “Shut the fuck up.” He said, and the boy did. Immediately after he turned back to Noël and grimaced at her. “I really think that I should be the leader, how are any of us going to get around without railroads?” That time, Noël didn’t remind him that there was transportation by air.

Extra:
Bakes a mean butterscotch cinnamon pie.
Will roast you with the intensity of a thousand suns.
Resident hype man of team BANK.
Refuses to wear plaid on plaid.

My semblance would be that all my mixtapes were as fire as the first.

[Raijinslayer]

@pyroman@Kouki Did somebody ask for a Roman Torch-wick type character . . . No, well too bad, I made one any way. Judge him fairly and sternly.

Carver Aureus

“Life's much too short to worry about petty things like laws or decency. Have an affair, punch a hobo, stab somebody, do whatever the hell you want, cause everything's permitted as long as you don't get caught.”

[color=Team Color]A P P E A R A N C E[/color]

|In Depth Appearance|
Carver is a man blessed with saintly good looks, with sparkling green eyes and straight blonde hair that reach to his shoulders. His figure is what you'd expect of a Hunter, lean and toned, plenty muscular physique and covered with a variety of scars, most of them being old wounds from his hunting days. When it comes to his clothing, he usually wears high-quality dress clothes that have been modified for use in combat while still remaining rather stylish, usually in the forms of jackets, slacks, and dress shoes.

|Scars, Tattoos, Other Markings|
He has a large tattoo that spans the whole of his back and spills over on to his arms, a veritable tapestry of colors that seems to span the rainbow. They shimmer with iridescent colors when shown to the light, and seem to glow when in the dark. Despite their beauty, Carver is very adverse o discussing them and will either dodge the questions or, if people still try to pry, get violent.

|Likes & Dislikes|
✔ Women(Especially Faunus women), money, Freedom, Silme when he isn't being a little brat, Luxury, messing with the police and Hunters
✘ People mentioning tattoos, people who go back on deals, traitors, mindless violence, self-righteous types, hero types, Uppity rats that don't know their place

Weapon: Never being one to play by the rules, Carver bears two weapons, A mechanized long-sword that can turn into a form of chainsaw by splitting in half, edge-wise, and ejecting a number of inch long serrated blades. His other weapon is a powerful revolver that bears a Dust Applicator, as well as a varied internal barrel. By pressing a button, he can change how the dust effects the bullet, from either simply affecting the bullet, to drawing a line of elemental energy as it travels, to even apply an effect to the target on hit. Not only that, but the bullets it fires have a very high impact, meaning they can do quite a lot of damage if they hit, though consecutive firing is near impossible due to the extreme recoil the weapon has. He can also out fit it with specially designed Aura-piercing rounds, but these are incredible expensive black market items, so he only uses them when faced with no other option.

Semblance: Live Fast, Die Hard; these are the words that he lives by and his his ability reflects that. When active, he gains a slight golden glow, as well as an impressive boost to his speed, but the thing that makes this Semblance dangerous is that when he gets into a fight that stacked against him, he gets even stronger. The more damage he takes and the less Aura he has, the stronger his Semblance becomes, enabling him to move faster and hit harder then he normally be able to. He can also apply his Semblance to a single limb, doubling the boost to speed but only to that limb, making it most useful when he's trying to get a shot on an unsuspecting foe or trying to overwhelm his opponent with a furious flurry of attacks.

Aside from that, Carver is very skilled in the ways of manipulating dust, having had to deal with it being engrained to his skin since birth and being forced to train with his father for experiments. While he may not like it using it, the dust in his skin is something he's very use to using, as he can now launch attacks using it without even a second thought. It's draining, however, to use it too much, hence why he tends to rely on his other skills first, only resorting to dust when he needs to make sure a foe is finished. He can use all forms of elements, as well as mixing them together to form new effects, and the results can be as devastating as they are tiring.

D E L V I N G D E E P E R

|Personality|
♦ Ruthless ♦ Laid back ♦ Care-free ♦ Flirtatious ♦
Carver is a Free spirit, both a lover and a fighter who doesn't care about societal taboos and has a love for the strange and unnatural. This is why he doesn't mind the Faunus like some other humans might, and even prefers them to humans since they seem to be clearly superior. He bears a somewhat odd fixation on women of the Faunus variety(any species of Faunus), and tends to treat them with all kinds of flattery, flirtation, and seduction, though he does this to all women, in truth. Faunus just get special attention.

With men, he tends to be sarcastic jackass with a superiority complex, not really treating themas if they're on the same level as he is. He also tends to demean them heavily and may have played a part in Silme's tendency to insult someone as soon as he sees them, as that's what he tends to do, often with a nickname of sorts. However, don't let his odd behaviors fool you, the man is as heartless and ruthless as they come, if not more so, dealing with everything in his way in a calculated and cool manner. He's broken his share knees and necks to get to where he is today, and will never lose any sleep over it. He beleives in survival of the fittest, and anyone who falls to him deserved to get crushed by his presence.

|Place of Origin|
Vale
|History|
Carver's childhood was a miserable one, as he had the misfortune of having a mad man as his father. Obsessed with discovering the secrets of dust, aura, semblances, and even further along, attempting to replicate the tale of the 4 maidens. To that end, he experimented on a number of hapless people in the shadows of Vale, learning much about the nature of Aura and Semblances that others couldn't even begin to comprehend, but through methods that few others would pursue in order to get the same result. Carver was not born naturally, but was created using the life force of many, meant to be a perfect being in every way. As Carver grew up, however, he began to notice something.

He was better than his father, which was inevitably followed by the fact that he was better than everyone else as well.

This didn't give him an arrogant attitude or excessive pride, just a simple realization that he shouldn't have to listen to those who are inferior to him. So, once he learned everything there was to know from his father, he left the man to stare at his burning hime, all of his discoveries set to torch to prevent another him form being made. The last he saw of his father was the man trying to rush into the building and reclaim his research. After that day, Carver was taken in by a nice family at the age of 14 and soon became known as a prodigy among prodigies. It was here that he learned all their was to know about Hunting Grimm, about the world at large, and many, many more things. He eventually became a hunter and had a grand life, but he felt . . . constrained by the laws set in place by those who couldn't understand his superiority. It ate at him, killing his desire to do anything day by day until, finally, he had enough. Tired of it all, he faked his own death at the hands of a Grimm, then went off to pursue a career that fit more with his beliefs. Apparently, that career was being a crime boss

@Write I'd like to add a rule to your semblance if that's okay. The more complex the copy, the weaker it is.

[Write]

@Kouki

Yeah that's not an issue. She won't be creating clones of anything complex anytime soon. No time bombs or clocks or anything. Mainly just arrows.

They are replications, not decoys. Also she can only do this to inanimate objects. She can essentially create a clone of an object if it is imbued with dust or she can envelop it in her aura.

"Hmmm. . . the spoilers a lie. She's not a faunus, and thus, not even close to being the best. Come on, you simpletons, we need more cute faunus girls in this world. You're all terrible disappointments. *sighs* But that aside, I say that she's a very competent and beautiful specimen of the female gender, and any girl after money as much as this one is a girl after my own heart. Everything checks out here, so she has Raijin's seal of approval, though why such a lovely girl needs that oaf's approval I'll never know. "

So from now on, I'll be using Silme's and/or Carver's perspective when grading CS. This is to A)provide you all with some enjoyment and B) to help me get comfortable with their characters again.

@Raijinslayerseems like fun!

I hope you don't mind, but I think I'll do that too with Bergen.
