Right to the meat of the matter; Noah is a six foot tall, marginally attractive young man with pastel blue eyes, shortish dark brown and blond flecked hair and a fair complexion. Built like a swimmer; compact and lightweight, Noah manages to seem top-heavy despite his lithe appearance. It's taken a long time to develop the muscles in his thighs and calves again after the car accident, and numerous scars line and score his legs like patchwork. His facial features are soft and sloped yet defined, retaining a sense of strength. Rather than appearing short and blocky, like the rest of him, Noah's face seems somewhat long. After years of physically exhausting and mind-numbingly painful exercises, the pattern and schedule of regular workouts just sort of sticked. Proud, as he should be, Noah can finally reap the benefits of a semi-presentable body and not feel totally at unease. As long as the majority of his legs are covered.
Noah carries himself with a casual air about him, disregarding most formalities, and speaks with a similar tone in kind. Although, he does have the habit of shaking hands whenever he introduces himself or meets someone in general. A tradition he's noticed on the decline of late. With a smile on his face and a laugh in his chest, Noah also appears anything but imposing or intimidating, which he rather prefers. Dress ranges wildly with this youth; taking into account projected weather forecasts and general availability, pretty much anything goes. Except, however, any type of trouser or short that would attempt to hem above or equal to knee level. It must go below. As for accessories, the traditional assortment of completely useless wrist and neck adornments follow, as do the earphones of the telltale digital music player. In short, Noah blends into the crowd well.
personality:
At first glance Noah is a confident and sure-headed fellow but beneath the surface lies the garbled, incoherent wreckage that is adolescence. Not so much the academic type, Noah is gifted with common sense, which the masses seem to lack, and a Jack-of-all-trades approach to any situation you can imagine. That's not to say he can't hold his own corner in deep or thought provoking conversations, he often does. Number crunching and ancient history just aren't really his bag of tricks.
A little bit of structure never killed anybody. Noah wouldn't consider himself totally without heart for the good times, wherever they may be had but there is a time for work and there is a time for play and he likes to keep the two separate. There's nothing wrong with enjoying your work either, as long as you're productive and still actually doing the work. Given half the chance though and Noah would much rather spend his time arsing around with his friends and abilities. They make things that little bit more interesting, he feels.
In many ways Noah is quite reserved and insecure, despite the bravado he may exude at times. He shys away from the lime-light and instead tries to blend in with the masses. Not to the point of great compromise but the idea of conformity doesn't seem completely evil to him. After his accident, Noah was traumatized and still is to a large degree. Even after years of therapy. Presented with two doors, Noah will opt for any scenario that frees him from the moving death traps that are cars but when there is absolutely no other alternative, he's gotten to the point where he will grudgingly enter them. Gotta laugh, eh?

powers:
Seismokinesis, also called Vibrokinesis or Tremor/Vibration Manipulation is the ability to mentally generate and alter vibrations. This ability can range from using vibration on a smaller scale, like shattering glass, vibrating the air to produce sounds or, at the higher bands, causing seismic tremors. One with this power could even release concussive waves of strong vibration to affect subjects in various ways, such as knocking foes down or launching vibrations into the ears of foes, causing disorientation.
Axis Access, also called Axis Travel is the ability to psychically move oneself along the axes of spatial existence. X-Axis Travel allows movement horizontally along the spatial X-Axis, Y-Axis Travel allows movement vertically along the spatial Y-Axis and Z-Axis Travel allows movement laterally along the spatial Z-Axis. The user does not teleport to the location they travel to; they levitate a few inches, and then they will literally slide to that location, like pieces on a chessboard and remain suspended like a point on a map. The user of this ability has a Geometric Sense, so they can see the world in terms of a coordinate plane (and discern the coordinates of their immediate surroundings as such).
power levels:
Seismokinesis - 4
In the years Noah has possessed this ability, there have been few occasions where he has been able to test the full extent of his powers safely and without alerting others to it. He has developed a system of control whereby generating and channeling extreme vibrations within and through himself, to avoid causing large scale earthquakes, to produce numerous different effects.
There are many different ways to use vibrations, these are just a few examples;
Clap - The ability to generate a seismic wave of vibration by clapping the hands together once. This can be used to send even among the strongest flying back, as well as shattering glass with devastating vibration.
Stomp - The ability to generate a seismic wave of undulating vibration by stomping the feet on the ground or jumping on the ground with tremendous force; this can be used to hurl cars and people into the air.
Burst - The ability to generate and launch powerful, concussive seismic force from the hands; these vibrations can be launched at foes or the like in order to work for ranged seismic attacks on foes.
Channel - Seismic vibrations can be channeled through objects, especially blunt objects, to add more force behind them; this eventually breaks the object unless it is made from a material strong enough to handle those vibrations.
Scream - Seismic vibrations can even be channeled through the voice to create an explosion-like blast; with this ability, no sound is produced but the voice is instead converted back to raw, powerful vibration.
Echolocation - By emitting pulses of inaudible vibration waves, Noah can read the entire surrounding three dimensional area and, together with a coordinate plane, map out everything he can hear in his mind.
Axis Access - 6
Noah's progress with this ability has developed in leaps and bounds. In such a relatively short amount of time, compared to his Vibration ability, Noah has become a natural adept with Axis Travel. At first he was very slow, methodical and linear in his movements. Now, after almost constant practice, he can move with much more fluidity and grace. Complex aerial maneuvers still pose something of a problem however.
In terms of raw speed, the simpler the movement means the faster Noah can travel. His peak speed thus far is roughly 35mph. While using Axis Travel, Noah psychically views the world in terms similar to a coordinate plane and discerns the coordinates of his immediate surroundings as such.
strengths:
- Optimism - Come rain or shine Noah aspires to keep a cheerful attitude about most things and has done a fairly good job so far, considering.
- Righteous - Above all, Noah wants to do what he feels is right. Even thought he might not, the desire is still there.
- Loyal - In this world, a friend you can count on is something Noah has found to be rare. Perhaps it needs an example?
- Resolve - The years of physical therapy have shown Noah that he isn't made of glass, and the mindset of pushing oneself to the limit and further has been retained since then.
- Higher Calling - Something inside tells Noah he is meant for something greater in this world.
weaknesses:
- Fearful - Despite what might be said and done, Noah fears for himself and the future. A thin and wavering line parts the inevitable storm and that leaves Noah with a terrible feeling of unease.
- Secretive - Played off for the most part, Noah does hide part of himself away as that last line of protection.
- Hypocritical - Noah is very aware the things he says and the things he does aren't always in sync with one another. Just because he can't do what is required of him sometimes doesn't mean he doesn't know what is right.
- Higher Calling - Something inside tells Noah he is meant for something greater in this world.
habits:
- Noah tends to float around most of the time, when he doesn't have to walk around in public. Or when his legs start to give him grief.
- Noah often catches himself imitating various different people without thinking about it.
goals:
- Noah wants to ride a sweet ass Motor Bike at some point very soon.
- Petting a Shark would be up on his to do list.
- He aspires to own a Jazz/Funk Club.
- When he can handle the responsibility, Noah wants a larger, more exciting Pet of some kind.
secret:
[/ul][/SIZE][/FONT]
- Part of Noah is drawn to the 'New World' spoken of by Amagi Miroku. He wants to see what it would be like, to have a world of peace filled with others like him.
- He also wonders if he has what it takes to survive, when the time comes.

history:
Born one breezy Autumn morning, in the month of October. Noah Patrick Waldgrave was ushered into the world by the lovely men and women of the Royal Victoria Hospital. Edinburgh. Crying and cold, the wrinkly babe weighed a healthy eight and a half pounds and was lucky enough to avoid any major complications. The second of the family, young Noah had an older sister already waiting for him on the outside. Three years his senior, Stephanie was at that age of curiosity when new things like him would pose an interest for a short while at least. Several days passed and Mother and Son were fit to return home; a nice three bedroom semi-detached. Already talks where in the air about Noah's soon to be room having first to be converted from the study it provided previously.[/ul][/SIZE][/FONT]
On his second birthday Noah was presented with a homemade birthday cake and given the gift of a beautiful golden yellow puppy. The hope was for the children to grow up together and share that special bond between man and man's best friend. Which they did, for years and years and years.
That humble beginning for Noah's mother, Emily, was the start of a lifelong dream she had. Since she was young girl, she'd always wanted to own her own Bakery but the timing was never right. However, a further two years later his father, Mark, had the opportunity to open his own branch with a Dentist friend of his and they both decided to take out business loans to start them off. Emily a Baker and Mark, a Dentist. In only three short years, they were thriving! Noah was six by that time and Dogface, the puppy, was getting on as well.
At the age of eight however, life took a very unfortunate turn. There had been a terrible car accident and Stephanie was killed. There was no foul play, no drink driving, just simple blind chance. Noah suffered broken legs and various other injuries while both Mark and Emily escaped relatively unscathed. There were fears he would never walk again. The family was torn apart. With their little girl gone, something was gone, missing forever. They couldn't cope together anymore. The vague concept of religion they possessed was all they could hold onto for the sake of their daughter but part of them resented it for the very same reason.
When he was well enough, the Doctors encouraged as much physical therapy as Noah could manage if he ever wanted to walk again. Eight months later and Mark and Emily legally separated. It was decided Noah would stay with his father and as scant recompense, Emily would take care of Dogface.
After four years of blood, sweat and tears, the various Doctors and therapists shook Noah's hand for the last time as they sent him off home on his own two feet labeled fit. Although, his legs still tend to act up after a fair amount of stress, or when it gets too cold. Although, Noah managed to use that very fact to his advantage several times in the past. Unfortunately, once such event of milking it resolved under rather interesting circumstances. After expressing his discomfort during P.E, Noah was inadvertently knocked on the side of the head and blacked out while a rather skittish substitute was on. Needless to say when he awoke, it was not in the most pleasant of moods. Half dazed, Noah found himself being driven to the Hospital by his dad. Shocked by what was going on around him, the blurring traffic, the blaring noise, he started to freak out. Refusing to be placated by a father trying to pay attention to the road and calm down a crazed kid, Noah's fear and delirium escalated until it physically shook the car, and the road, and other cars, and several buildings along the roadside before blacking out again.
Something buried within had awoken.
As you can imagine the timing for this wasn't the greatest. Life as they knew it was beginning to settle down into a vague semblance of normalcy and yet another event sought to thrust the family under scrutiny from the public eye. As it would, word spread and after several weeks, questions were being asked. In truth Noah had no answers to give, he didn't know of anything that happened. Only Mark did and somehow, he knew it happened because of Noah. Noah was... Different. Months passed the level of questioning escalated. Several times they were visited by authorities of different kinds, asking if a 13 year old boy knew how an earthquake began in the middle of Edinburgh. It was ludicrous! Mark knew they were being monitored.
Like a game of chess, pawns were being sacrificed to drawn out the answers. Fellow students suddenly began to turn their backs on Noah because of the suspicions around him. Many took to bullying. Eventually it went too far and seismic activity started all over again. With Noah at the epicenter. Mark knew the stalemate at which he had fought for with the government would break after news of this spread. Fearful of what might become of his son, Mark hastily packed, amassed as much resources as he could and left with him. In the time since he first learned of Noah's ability, he began to dig. Unearthing the fact that people like Noah were all over the world, albeit tightly controlled, shocked him. The powers that be were trying to collect everyone they could for control, or so he read. In his search, he also came across a safe haven for kids like Noah. The Harring Gate Institute. Two weeks later and they were at it's doors.
That was four years ago roughly and quite a lot has changed. Amagi Miroku has made his declaration of war with the world. Mark lives off campus in London, so as not to arouse too much suspicion of Noah's whereabouts and Noah now looks after Boris. Boris the fish.
