IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Noiz Age: 19 Canon: DRAMAtical Murder Canon Point: End of Common Route (before a new route is chosen) Species: Human Gender: Male (both) Orientation: Bisexual? Pansexual? Something like that. Canonly he states that it doesn't matter to him if his male love interest was a girl, he'd be just as interested. He honestly could not care less about a person's sex and gender.
History: Noiz was born to wealthy parents in Germany. He grew up with his parents and brother, though "with" might be a generous word for how Noiz was raised.
You see Noiz has a condition which deadens his sense of touch. While he's still technically capable of feeling Noiz himself describes it as his senses being dull, and his skin feeling like it's covered with something thick. There's the obvious problems with this affliction like Noiz being unable to properly experience pleasant sensations like holding someone's hand or really experiencing the full effects of a warm embrace. Sure, he's capable of performing all the acts anyone else can, but without the physical sensations that go along with them it takes out a lot of the impact these actions have on people. More importantly, Noiz is unable to experience pain.
Now no pain might sound like a great thing, but when you think about the fact that little kids often don't have a well developed sense of empathy in the first place just imagine what a little kid who can't even understand pain on a basic level must be like. Noiz ended up hurting a lot of children because he couldn't understand the pain he was putting them through, and when word got back to his parents they felt embarrassed by their son's actions. Within earshot of the little Noiz comments about wishing he was never born were uttered.
And if that wasn't enough to win them "parent of the year" awards, instead of getting their son the help he needed they decided to keep Noiz locked away inside the house. They provided him the necessities he needed to live including food, a comfortable living space, a tutor, and a maid, but it doesn't change the fact that they'd basically imprisoned their son. No one else would come in to see the boy and he had to take care of himself. At first the crushing loneliness got to young Noiz and he would sit in his room and cry, but eventually he learned to adjust to being alone. Needless to say Noiz grew up with underdeveloped social skills and very low opinion about the altruism of humans.
Eventually Noiz left home and found his way to Modirijima, an island to the southwest of Japan. He got heavily into a game called Rhyme. What is Rhyme? Well to explain Rhyme I need to give a basic explanation about Allmates first.
Allmates are pretty simple concept, they're basically robots (usually shaped like animals) that are designed to make people's lives easier. They can perform various tasks from finding out information about traffic patterns to functioning as a two way radio (if you happen to have more than one). Useful little guys! And a key component to Rhyme.
See, Rhyme is battle fashioned in an rpg style, but with the catch of being played inside a person's mind. Anyone who wants to play Rhyme has to go through a procedure and register so that they're able to enter a Rhyme field and battle between themselves, or more accurately have their Allmates battle each other. In Rhyme the Allmates take on different visual forms than what they actually possess in reality. As an example, Noiz's Allmates are these small cubes with a vague rabbit face shape printed on the outside, in Rhyme they take on the form actual cartoonish rabbits. The biggest thing about Rhyme for Noiz, however? Attacks on Allmates register as pain for the player whose Allmate is being assaulted. While no damage is done to the physical body and after a match people are generally fine, the brain still registers the attacks as painful.
During his time on Midorijima Noiz did two things, he formed a team of Rhyme players called Ruff Rabbit, and became an information broker for Rhyme players. To play Rhyme the presence of a being called Usui is needed, Noiz would figure out when and where Usui was going to appear and sell the information to other Rhyme players so they could be on location to either participate in Rhyme themselves or witness a battle going on. During all this he discovered Aoba Seragaki (Rhyme name: Sly Blue), and finding out that Aoba worked part time at a junk shop arranged for a Aoba to bring a delivery out to him so he could perform a drive-by on him.
Now when I say drive-by I don't mean the typical definition of the word, I mean a Rhyme drive-by. When Aoba brought the items he was supposed to be delivering to the right street Noiz forced his mind into a Rhyme field and while in disguise forced Aoba into a Rhyme battle.
Here's where things get odd though. While Aoba had a pretty nasty reputation in the past for his Rhyme playing abilities, during his Rhyme battle with Noiz the guy clearly had no idea what he was doing. Even weirder in the midst of the battle his demeanor changed and the game ended with Aoba wiping the floor with Noiz. After that Noiz did the only sensible thing a person could do... He broke into Aoba's house, rifled through his computer for any information he could find, and got into a fight with Aoba and one of Aoba's friends, Koujaku, shortly Aoba found him in his room.
... Yep.
Even after that entire fiasco Noiz decided he wasn't done harassing the poor guy. See, during their encounter at Aoba's house Aoba claimed he'd never played Rhyme before, and refused Noiz's demands that he fight Noiz in Rhyme again, and that did not sit well with Noiz. He showed up at Aoba's place of work, and after an exchange that involved flustering and upsetting Aoba pretty literally drags him out of work and to a gathering of Rhyme players. This of course all while demanding Aoba join his Rhyme team. Luckily for Aoba (or maybe more unluckily) Koujaku shows up with his gang, and picks a fight with Noiz and his gang before the cops break it up.
I think we can all see what I mean about Noiz having underdeveloped social skills at this point.
Despite all the hell he gave Aoba before, he does end up proving useful when he's caught eavesdropping in on a conversation Aoba is having about his grandmother being captured. With a little coercion from Aoba Noiz helps figure out the location of Aoba's granny, Tae, and helps rescue her from the gang that kidnapped her. He is even allowed to come back to Aoba's house after the ordeal and sits in on Tae's explanation of what is really going on behind the scenes on this little island. How a man that owns the resort, Platinum Jail, on one end of the island is planning on controlling the island's population, and how Aoba has powers that allow him to control and break the will of the people around him.
That's about where it all ends, because after that is past his canon point. Appearance:Doop, dee, doop Personality: It has already been stated in other sections of this application so far, but Noiz doesn't have the best people skills. Thanks to his unusual upbringing Noiz wasn't allowed to properly hone his social skills the way most children are, and the results really show. Noiz's manners leave a hell of a lot to be desired. He tends to do and say what he wants with little regard to the people around him.
Then again, Noiz doesn't often put a lot of thought into how his actions will affect other people, and if he did it's pretty doubtful he'd care seeing as Noiz is a self proclaimed misanthrope. Thanks to the actions of his parents Noiz doesn't believe that people really genuinely care about each other. In Noiz's eyes whenever someone makes a seemingly generous gesture it's because they want something out of the other person. It's his personal assumption that people who display any sort of kindness and affection towards him are either looking to get at his parents' wealth, or use his skill set to their own advantage. This belief is carried to almost ridiculous extremes in canon, and when he's unable to pin down any specific gain someone could get from helping him he then makes the assumption they must want sexual gratification from him. To Noiz an act of pure benevolence doesn't exist, and no matter what when a person does something nice for someone else they're expecting something back in return.
Thanks to this way of thinking Noiz doesn't exactly have a lot of friends. In fact it's probably pretty fair to assume Noiz doesn't have any real friends. He has a Rhyme team, but that doesn't mean he's close to any of the members. He comes across as standoffish when interacting with people, and while he's not really the strong silent type he's still not the sort of guy to really let people in. There's a sort of cool aloofness in his attitude at times that can really put people off to wanting to deal with him. Since Noiz isn't the type of person to reach out the hand of friendship first, and doesn't tend to give people a reason to really want to get close to him it keeps him in a weird state of semi-isolation even now when he's surrounded by other people.
Noiz isn't necessarily happy about it, but he doesn't view it as a bad thing either. At this point in his life Noiz is under the impression that he doesn't need other people. While he has a strong sense of independence he unfortunately takes that to the logical extreme and does not like to rely on other people at all. Thanks to his cost-benefit way of thinking relying on other people means they'll now view him as being in their debt.
As a nice cherry on top of all of this Noiz is pretty easily spurred into violent action. It doesn't take a lot to get Noiz to fight someone, and since Noiz doesn't feel pain it's a lot harder to get him to stop. He's a fairly competent fighter too, which is good considering how often he seems to be goaded into one during canon, and of course Noiz isn't afraid to egg someone on into one himself. While he generally doesn't seem all that concerned with the biting comments people might make about him, it doesn't mean he won't shoot back with insults of his own until things escalate to physical blows. And just because it's not easy to really get under Noiz's skin it doesn't mean he's not easy enough to put into a bad mood. He's not exactly known for his stunning smile and pleasant attitude after all.
Despite all his less than desirable qualities Noiz is a very intelligent guy. He's an expert computer hacker, and manages to break into highly advanced systems with relative ease. He knows his stuff when it comes to computers, and robotics, and apparently security systems... And as mentioned earlier Noiz is incredibly independent and able to take care of himself. Admittedly he basically eats nothing but delivery pizza and pasta, so he only takes care of himself so well, but he does manage to live on his own in a foreign country at the age nineteen with literally no help from his family or anyone else around him.
Don't be fooled though, taking care of himself doesn't mean he's mature. There's a lot of things about Noiz that are still unbelievably childish even beyond his standoffish attitude and view on people. A lot of that ties back into his less than polite behavior, for example literally eating food out of people's hands when they're not expecting it, or unexpectedly planting a kiss on them. He tends to take people be surprise without meaning to with his more quirky and impulsive behavior that one might not necessarily expect for a man his age. Abilities: Less of an ability and more of a condition, but Noiz has a distorted sense of touch, and can barely feel anything at all. For example someone can punch him in the face hard enough to split his lip and Noiz won't even flinch.
He's also a skilled hacker, but that's not gonna get him far here. Other: Nope!
Third Person: Dull. Everything about his new life here was dull. Noiz didn't believe for a second that the 'landlord' that had forced him here had really done it in an attempt to improve the lives of anyone trapped in this Stepford hell. The one problem Noiz was having at the moment was trying to figure out why the landlord had done all this. For all the effort he'd put into this setup there didn't seem to be a whole lot of payoff for him. At least there was no obvious answer to that question, and no apparent leads that would allow to any fast track to solving this mystery. If he was being completely honest Noiz didn't really care what the man wanted as long as he was able to leave this place.
That was the problem though, wasn't it? He couldn't just get up and leave. And while Noiz may not have cared about the landlord's motivation he couldn't deny certain curiosities were still there about other things. For a community that seemed to wallow in its lack of technological advancement the landlord had to be hiding some impressive equipment to have knocked out and relocated the number of people he had. At the very least a highly devoted task force, and with the number of drab citizens that seemed to be willing to mindlessly float through their lives here the warning bells were on full chime. If the story Tae Seragaki had told about Morphine and Toue were true back home, then there were some pretty uncomfortable connections that could be made to this community.
It all still came down to one simple problem, however, where to even start?
He leaned forward in the lawn chair, arms crossed over his lap as he eyed the overly green grass under his feet. What he wouldn't trade to be parked out on the less than clean streets of Midorijima instead of sitting in the middle of this picturesque lawn. No clues, no Rhyme battles to at least pacify him while he was stuck in this world, not even the internet to keep him entertained. He'd been kept locked up for long enough, and being brought back into a situation like this Noiz felt like he was about to go out of his mind from boredom if something didn't happen soon.
Which seemed to be the magical thought as a shadow fell across the patch of grass Noiz had been staring at. His eyes flitted up to the figure now standing in front of him. Well... that ought to put the end to his boredom. At least for a little while.
