Noah Ryuuzaki

"Only a fool walks before knowing where they are headed."

0 · 247 views · located in The Interactive Dream Dimension

a character in “Lucid Dreamers: Nightmares”, originally authored by HereMeNow, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

ImageName: Noella Ryuuzaki
Nick Name: Noah

Age 18

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 123lbs

Role: Getsus Enterprises assistant

Personality: Noah is usually very serious and not very good with emotions. Since she's been taught never to show weakness, she's practically fixated on being as strong as she can. She may have doubts or feel sad sometimes, but she never shows anyone those feelings. Noah has a very hard shell that isn't easy to crack, so it may be hard for some people to communicate with her. Though Noah may still be young, she's pretty mature for her age and is very smart as well. She's always trying to prove herself, and is very touchy when it comes to her past. She gets nervous around sensitive topics, so she tries to avoid anything that has to do with feelings. One may even say Noah acts a little too much like an obedient robot, at least when they don't know the real her. One would be surprised to find she's actually a lot softer than she acts.

History: Noah's father was a member of Getsus Enterprises for a long time, so it was only natural that Noah would also work for Getsus after she turned eighteen. She was an only child growing up in a large house with two maids, her mother, and her father. Her mother, Camile, had grown very frail after giving birth to Noah, so she was never able to leave her bed and take care of Noah herself. Instead Noah fell under the responsibility of her father, who raised her more like a son than a daughter. She learned to only speak when spoken to, and that having strength meant that you had more money and more power than others. It wasn't exactly the 'best' child-hood a young girl could hope for, but it was really all that Noah had, so she listened to her fathers every word and accepted all of the criticism her gave her. Though, on the brief visits she had with her mother, she also learned a few other things naturally, like how to have sympathy for someone or feel regret. As Noh grew older she began to experience many more feelings, but was never allowed to show any of them. After she turned sixteen, her mother passed away and she cried for the first time since she was a child, though she did it in the privacy of her own room. Then, four months after her eighteenth birthday, she also started working for Getsus Enterprises alongside her father until he died in a traffic accident and she was left to take his position.

Noah sat quietly under a large tree with silver petals that stood on the top of a grassy hill over looking a small village; the village she was ordered to take over. She'd heard Getsus loud and clear, but didn't bother replying. The petals continued to slowly fall around her, settling silently on the grass. She stood up and the few petals that decided to rest on Noah's lap fell to the ground as she stared down at the village. It looked peaceful enough, but she knew she was about to destroy that quiet peace and it would be so simple. So far the Dream Dimension had been too easy to tear down, and it would only be a matter of time before it was completely under the rule of Getsus Enterprises.

She pulled a little jar out of a little bag strapped to the belt around her waist and popped it open before tapping it a few time with her finger. Four little purple flecks floated down onto the ground and slowly begun to transform as she shut the jar and slid it back into the little pocket on her belt. Four of the smaller shadow bugs she carried with her stood in front of her, white eyes and sharp smiles, kind of looking like little children and only as tall as her knees. "I want Lumi, Felli, and Pon to hide yourselves within the village until I give order to attack." She said, naming three of them from left to right. She'd given each of her shadow bugs a name, something she did often when she found something she liked. She shadow bugs might look terrifying to other people, but for some reason Noah found them to be a little cute. "Fonfon," she said, pointing at the smaller on on the far right, "You stay with me." she said, then leaned back against the tree. "Off you go." she said and in an instant the three of them vanished and made their way to the village, leaving the one she'd called 'Fonfon' with Noah. First she would approach the village and ask them to surrender peacefully, if not, then she would head onto plan B and take it by force. Now if only she could find out where Aron was.

She was about to sit back down in the grass before she spotted a figure a little further off near a river than ran behind the village. She narrowed her eyes a little. Perhaps she could get information out of this person. Knowing the villages layout would help, and if there were any possible soldiers withing the village, she could know it from this person. She walked down the hill towards the river, the little shadow bug known as 'Fonfon' trailing behind her like a little lost puppy. She walked up behind the man, but kept a few feet apart from him. "Would you happen to be a citizen of this village here?" She asked, her face blank and her voice calm. She held the handle of her sword for precautions, but didn't draw it so not to alarm the man. Fonfon slunk up behind Noah and positioned itself centimeters away from her right foot, its face curious, yet ready for any order Noah would give it.

Shen leaned his head back, getting an upside down view of the girl. After about three seconds he rolled his eyes and sat back up, staring down into the river water. He hated people like her. People who thought they were hiding everything, but were in fact extremely easy to read. Shen's voice was low, filled with venom as he spoke. "What is this, little puppy? You want me to tell you about the village you're about to burn down? Fat chance." Shen stood up and turned to face Noah, nothing but anger and hatred burning in his deep blue eyes. He got right up in her face and took a fistful of her shirt in his hand. "You assholes think you can come in here and take over a world you know nothing about. You storm in here, not giving a damn about everyone else, and try to take over our dream dimension. Well listen here." Shen's entire body was shaking from anger and fatigue as he said with absolute certainty, "You won't win. You may be winning now, but you will not win. You will NOTtake our home away from us." Shen let go of her shirt and jumped into the river without a word. He had taken his shirt off earlier and it was lying in the grass. He stayed under water for about a minute before he came back up to breathe again. The water had calmed him down a little, and his voice was softer and more childlike than it had been before. "You think you're doing something noble, when in fact all you're doing is causing other people pain and suffering for your own benefit."

Noah wasn't really all that surprised at the boys answer, since she knew word of them had already spread throughout the Dream World. What did surprise her was when he stood up and took a hold of the collar of her shirt. She took a small step back but he had a good grip on the cloth, though the fact that he was much taller than her didn't make her feel any weaker. She tightened her grip on the handle of her katana, but didn't unsheathe it and didn't call for the shadow bug to do anything either. She didn't really find a reason too.

"You won't win. You may be winning now, but you will not win. You will NOTtake our home away from us."

Noah's face showed no emotion at the man's words, but she relaxed her shoulders a little when he let go of her and jumped into the river. She released her hand from her sword handle and straightened out her clothes, then looked down at him in the water after he surfaced.

"You think you're doing something noble, when in fact all you're doing is causing other people pain and suffering for your own benefit."

Noah's blank expression stayed the same, though her blue eyes saddened a little. "Yes, I'm well aware of the consequences." She said calmly, then turned and knelt down in front of the little bug. "Fonfon, have the others positioned themselves yet?" She asked and in return Fonfon gave a small squeak and nodded its head. Noah smiled softly to it and patted its head. "Good." She said, then stood back up. "It was nice meeting you." She said blankly to Shen, then pulled out a little radio and pressed one of the buttons. "Aron, did you hear the order given earlier? I've already got bugs positioned inside, are you any where nearby?" She said, speaking into the little microphone.

Shen sat there, staring at his reflection in the water as she spoke. That's when it hit. Another vision, except this one was stronger than the last.

Burning. Everything was burning. There was nothing but smoke in the air, as people were running and screaming. Shadow bugs swarmed overhead, and an older man was yelling orders at his subordinates. People who couldn't escape the fire lay dying all around him. There was no light in sight. If the fire wasn't controlled soon, everything would burn to ashes.

Shen clutched at his forehead and tried not to cry out in pain. He was already injured, and now his head was pounding as if he'd just been hit with a jackhammer. I have to do something... I have to do something. Shen couldn't think of anything else as he staggered towards the shore. He forced himself into his clothes and looked at Noah one more time. There was an exhausted but knowing look in his eyes. "You can't do this. You have no idea what will happen if you do." Then he burst off into the forest, headed towards the group of people he had seen earlier. He could barely function as it was, and if he wanted to save the lives of the people in the village, he was going to need help.

Noah turned her head and watched the boy dash off into the forest near the river. She watched after him and let out a small sigh. "Fool." she murmured to herself. He didn't seem like the kind of person to run off so he wouldn't be caught in the commotion of the village being taken over. She knew he was off to warn someone, as if it would make much of a difference. She could take on just about anyone, even without the help of the shadow bugs. She'd already helped take down a few villages in this world and this one wouldn't be any different.

She didn't like having to kill to get what she wanted, but orders were orders and she never really knew anything but obedience. It was just the way she was raised. "I'm going to head into the South Entrance of the village." She said, turning her attention back to the little device in her hand. "I doubt I'll need any assistance but if you're nearby, help any way you can." At least that would make Getsus give Aron a little credit. She noticed the guy spaced out a lot, like he didn't like helping Getsus Enterprises all that much. She put the communication device away and started making her way up river with Fonfon trailing behind once again. She'd never failed to take down a village here yet, and she wasn't about to fail.

"Aron, did you hear the order given earlier? I've already got bugs positioned inside, are you any where nearby?"
Aron could hear Noah's voice from the walkie talkie in his pocket. He clicked the button, and spoke into the microphone,
"Yes, i got the orders. I'm coming."

Aron started to walk through the forest at a faster pace. Soon he heard Noah's voice again, saying,
"I'm going to head into the South Entrance of the village.... I doubt I'll need any assistance but if you're nearby, help any way you can."

Although Aron thought Noah always seemed to come off a little bit pushy, he had to give her some respect. There was a part of Aron that wished he could be like her; shut up, don't complain, and follow orders. Aron had a feeling Getsus trusted her much more than the other assistants.

The darkness of the forest ceased, and Aron's eyes had to adjust to the sunlight. Aron grabbed the walkie talkie again, and clicked the button.
"Noah, i'm coming into the village from the east side, just so you know."

Before Aron could start walking again, he grabbed the little jar from his pocket, opened it, and started to shake out the shadow bugs. The dust started to transform into the scary- looking creatures.

The relationship Noah and her shadow bugs had wasn't the same as the relationship Aron and his shadow bugs had. It's not that Aron didn't treat them well, it's just he never really talked to them like Noah did. He never really gave them orders, but instead, told them to follow him. The shadow bugs didn't really know what to think of Aron. Aron never really raided any villages or cities, and so he never used his shadow bugs much.

As Aron and the five shadow bugs behind him started to walk to the village, they looked around for Noah. Unfortunately, Aron didn't see Noah, but what he did see was some sort of creature flying right above him. Something about the creature looked familiar, but Aron couldn't tell why.

"Noah, i'm coming into the village from the east side, just so you know."

Noah heard Aron's reply through the speaker as she stopped a little further off from the location she had told him. She approached the entrance and stopped after taking a few steps into the village. Some of the townspeople were already giving her dirty looks and a couple of them shrunk back in fear as they spotted the little shadow bug trailing alongside Noah's feet. A man stepped in front of her and Noah stopped and looked at him, he had an annoyingly stubborn look in his eyes. "Your people are not welcome here. Leave." the man demanded firmly, though Noah showed no reaction. She looked up at him, keeping her hands at her sides. "This village will now fall under the rule of Getsus Enterprises." She said to him, her voice calm. "If you surrender peacefully, no harm will come to you."

"And if we don't?" the man scoffed, holding a short sword in one of his hands.

"Then I will have no other choice but to take your village by force. I trust you'll see my reasoning." She said, though the man didn't look like he'd changed his mind. "This is our world!" the man yelled lunging forward and holding up the sword. Noah turned slightly and took a small step back before quickly drawing her katana and clashing it with the man's blade. Sparks flew and the blade the man was wielding flew into the air as Noah spun and hit the man in the back of the neck with the blunt side of her sword. He fell to the ground and a few gasps from women sounded in the audience. "Fonfon." She said, sliding the sword back into its sheath. Only a second later a scream could be heard from one side of the village, then a few more. "I told them to surrender.." She said softly, eying the few people that stood around her. She turned her gaze away from them and walked a little further before making her way up onto the roof of one of the buildings with Fonfon next to her. If Aron had heard the screams the shadow bugs that Noah had already sent into the village, he's know that the attack was officially starting.

Aron wanted to cover his ears from all the screaming. He never liked raids, and this one wasn't an exception. It hurt him to see all the people staring at him like he was evil, ignorant, rotten. Suddenly, he could see the black cat who had talked to him before. The cat's words from before ran through his mind. They kept repeating over and over, and the words became louder than the villagers' screams.

Suddenly, Aron knew what to do.

He turned to the shadow bugs, and spoke loudly, "LISTEN UP, i want each of you to find Noah. She will command you. Do not do anything until you find her."
Aron watched as the largest shadow bug nodded, and he watched as they speedily moved away, out of sight.

As soon as they were gone, Aron turned to the villagers that were behind him. He took a deep breath, and shouted, "EVERYONE!! MOVE OUT, QUICKLY!! PLEASE EVACUATE, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!"

Aron looked around for the black cat, but it seemed as if she had disappeared.

Noah stood on the rooftop of one of the buildings, watching the chaos awaken below. She had already let out two larger shadow bugs and sent them off. She didn't think this little village would be much of a threat though, so she told them there was no need for them to use their twisters or black holes. Their teeth and strength would be enough to take over the place. The people were running, trying to get out of the town, but she set up a few of her larger shadow bugs around the outside of the town already on the South side, and she knew Aron would be on the East. "Go make sure they aren't killing too much." She said, looking down at Fonfon and the little bug squeaked and vanished, leaving a few specks of black behind before those also disappeared. Noah took one last look at the village below, then turned and jumped off the back of the building and landed in an ally way close to the outskirts of the town.

There was no need for her to wait around, and she didn't want to listen to the screaming. She walked a little ways towards the outside before suddenly she felt a sharp pain in the back of her ankle. She turned and noticed something had snatched onto the back of her foot. Quickly she drew her katana and sliced the snake's body from its head, which released it's grip from her ankle and fell onto the ground. What is that doing here? Isn't that a river snake? she though to herself, sliding her sword back into its as the body of the snake slowly stopped moving. She looked down at her ankle, which was only bleeding a little, then spun around and took a step forward before a strange feeling hit her. She took in a deep breath and leaned herself roughly against the stone wall of the alley way. For some reason she felt really hot and dizzy all of a sudden. Poison? She looked down at the snake, and scolded herself for not noticing it earlier. She'd been bitten before by a snake that looked rather similar to that one and had ended up passing out from the venom. Since this one's color was a little different, she hadn't paid any mind to it, but now she knew she'd made a mistake.

She let out a small sigh, trying to catch her breath before seeing a large black figure in the corner of her eye. It was some of Aron's shadow bugs. "Find Aron and tell him that I have to pull out. This village has a water creature on its side, probably a mermaid. Otherwise a river snake would never come into the village like this. Make sure he continues the raid, but tell him to be cautious." She said through clenched teeth as calm as she could. The creatures looked at each other, then nodded and left her. She took in a couple of breaths before continuing her way outside the village. She walked on in the direction of the river she was at earlier and then dropped to her knees in front of the water. The black-haired girl cupped her hands and took a couple of drinks, before leaning back and dipping her ankle into the water so that it would stop throbbing. Even with this distance between her and the village, the screaming and sound of crashing buildings could still be heard.

"Thank you!" Aron replied to the boy who had talked to him. Aron watched as the boy ran off, then was surprised as the shadow bugs came back to him.

The shadow bugs had a deep, other-world sounding voice. They told Aron that Noah was hurt, and that she dropped out, and that Aron needed to continue the raid.
"Wait, why is Noah hurt? what hurt her?" he asked. Just then, Aron could hear a hissing sound behind him. He turned around to see a river snake, only a couple inches behind him. The snake lunged towards Aron, trying to bite his leg, but he quickly dodged the attack. Aron considered using the shadow bugs to easily kill the snake, but then Aron had a thought. What if the snake was just like the cat, and was able to talk and think? If Aron could make reason with it, then it wasn't right to kill it. Forgetting about the shadow bugs, Aron started to run through the small pathways of the village, passing many screaming people. The snake followed swiftly behind him.

Serena hid between a couple of river plants. Only her eyes above the surface. She felt a strange water movement on the surface a little farther on the left and ducked down into the water. As she swam closer she felt something she'd felt before, someone was wounded. She'd felt it all the time since the attack started but never this close. Was it someone from the village?
She swam to the left until she saw something in the water. It was a foot. The ankle was bleeding. A bit of blood flowed into the water. Serena approached the foot, careful not to be seen through the water. Someone was wounded, and she had to help as much as she could. Just as she wanted to start healing, she saw the two red bitemarks on the ankle. The snakes had done their job, but who was the target?

Serena swam up to the surface and looked at the girl in front of her. She was definitely a dream walker, Serena thought, looking at her clothes.

"Who are you, dreamwalker? Are you with Getsus Enterprises?" Serena asked, raising her trident to the surface, making the top visible. The girl looked strong, but didn't look like a bad person.

Noah started to feel the poison wear off. It was nice that the venom wasn't going to last very long, and the cold water really helped, but she still felt dizzy and every now and then her vision would blur. She was still angry with herself that she let herself gt weakened by such a small threat. Either way, she hoped Aron wouldn't go do something stupid and would follow Getsus's orders. She never really talked to him, but she'd met him a few times when working with him and Noah was actually a little surprised when he was sent with her to the Dream Dimension. She leaned forward a little and closed her eyes as she tried to clear her head.

"Who are you, dreamwalker? Are you with Getsus Enterprises?"

Her eyes snapped open and she looked at the water in front of her. She pulled her foot out of the water and attempted to jump backwards, but she ended up slipping and falling into the water instead. She let out a small yelp as she fell into the cold liquid and quickly climbed back out onto the bank on her hands and knees. She coughed a couple of times, then then turned around and stayed sitting on the grass. For a first impression on her enemy, she'd never made such a humiliating one in her life. "I'm guessing you're the one who sent the snakes." She said, removing the belt that her sword and sheath were attached to. She pulled the katana out of its sheath and set it in the grass next to her, then dumped the remaining water out of the sheath. "I'm sorry but I killed one." She said calmly, though she was still dripping wet and her ankle continued with its throbbing.

The girl nodded and held tighter to Shen's clothes. As he carried her out, Shen noticed that the rest of the village was almost empty except for the shadow bugs. He set the girl down in the woods and told her to run along while he went to make sure there was no one else inside the village. As the girl watched Shen stagger off, she sent a silent thank you to God and the universe for sending him to save her life. Ten minutes later, Shen returned to find the girl was still waiting for him. "What are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be looking for your family?" The girl shook her head. "It's getting dark. I can't go by myself." Shen sighed. Great. Now I have to help her find her mother. "Okay. Well my name is Shen. I'll help you look for your mother in the morning, but for right now-" Suddenly the woods swayed around him. Before he knew it, Shen was on the ground completely unconscious. He had reached his limit. The little girl jumped back alarmed before rushing over and putting her hand in front of Shen's mouth to make sure he was still breathing. "Hmmm... I'll be right back." The girl ripped off a portion of her long white dress and headed towards the river to get some water. When she arrived on the riverbank, she noticed the mermaid and the other older girl. She made sure to stay far away from them as she dipped the cloth in the cool water.

Serena didn't expect the girl to react the way she did. As the girl fell into the water Serena pulled back her trident and waited for the girl to climb up again. This girl can't possibly be with Getsus Enterprises...

"I'm guessing you're the one who sent the snakes," the girl said, pulling out her weapon. It was a fancy weapon. Certainly not one a citizen here would have. Okay, maybe she is one of them. Serena raised her trident, ready to use it if necessary.
"I'm sorry but I killed one."

"I know. The snakes only let go when killed. If you hadn't killed it it would still be on your ankle now. But it hurt you badly enough." It probably gave some people the time to get away safely.

Serena felt a small movement in the water and looked to the right. There was a little girl at the river bank. She was quite far away, but still an easy target. Would the Getsus girl attack her if she saw her? Was she really that evil? It was possible. Serena had seen it before. Heartlessly these people had killed her parents, who were just trying to defend their home. The mermaid's head filled with anger. Serena always hoped she wouldn't have to use the trident to attack someone, but if the little girl was going to be attacked, she wouldn't have a choice.

Serena noticed the venom was wearing off and tried to distract the girl.

"Why do you do this? Don't you care about any of these people?" she asked, trying to stay calm.

Noah stood up and pulled her hair over her shoulder to ring it out as the mermaid explained that the snakes would only let go when killed. That was something Noah hadn't known before, since the last time she was bitten she did the same thing she'd done for this one was immediately kill it. She brushed her hair back behind her shoulders again before sitting back down to remove her shoes and dump them out.

"Why do you do this? Don't you care about any of these people?"

She paused a moment at the question and looked down the womans head in the water. She had her trident raised a little as if ready for an attack at any moment, but Noah didn't feel very worried. She didn't think the mermaid would actually do anything unless Noah made the first move. She didn't answer for a moment as she removed her left shoe and shook it out before putting it back on and gently remove her left shoe to also dumb the water out. "I'm just doing what is ordered of me to do." She said blankly, slipping her right shoe back on carefully so she wouldn't hurt her ankle. "I gave those people in the town a choice, but they chose the wrong one. Simple as that." She stood back up again and started to strap her belt back on when she spotted a small figure in the corner of her eye down river. She turned her head and narrowed her eyes a moment. It was a little girl, probably from the village. What is she doing? She seemed to be dipping something in the water.

Noah picked up her sword and slid it back into its sheath before, glancing over at the mermaid for a moment, she turned and started to walk, though limping a little bit, down river where the girl was. She kept a short distance between herself and the river in case the mermaid tried to do anything until she stopped a few feet from where the girl was. "Excuse me, do you belong to this village here?" She asked the girl, though she already knew that that was most likely the case. "You shouldn't be this close to it right now, it's not safe." She said, supporting herself on her left leg.

Serena watched as the girl took off her shoes. She was getting impatient but just as she wanted to repeat the question, the girl answered:

"I'm just doing what is ordered of me to do. I gave those people in the town a choice, but they chose the wrong one. Simple as that." Before Serena could get mad, the girl stood up and started walking in the direction of the little girl.

Serena followed the katana-girl, keeping her distance. She couldn't let her harm the little girl.

As she got closer, Serena felt it again. Someone nearby was wounded, and it wasn't a snake bite.

"Excuse me, do you belong to this village here? You shouldn't be this close to it right now, it's not safe."

The words surprised her. So the girl wasn't completely evil. Serena wasn't done talking to the girl, but remained silent for the moment. She waited to see what was going to happen.

The girl looked up in alarm. "Uhm... I did." She looked at Noah and her eyes filled with tears. She was only 5-years-old. She pointed at Noah and said, "You burned our houses. You took away our homes. You killed our neighbors and friends and- and-" Suddenly a stubborn expression came upon the girl's face. She wiped the tears off, and dipped another piece of cloth into the river water. She stared at the water for a few minutes before saying, "We have nowhere to go back to." Her voice was soft, barely above a whisper.

Noah's expression didn't change as the girl pointed at her and her eyes filled with tears. Though, Noah's on eyes did sadden a little, it was hard to tell. Once again, she was only following orders. It was the only thing she ever really learned how to properly do. She didn't really know how to handle others emotions all that well, so she didn't feel all that phased from the girls tears. The little girl wiped her tears away and continued dipping a cloth into the water and Noah looked down at the water. She expected that the mermaid would follow her. At least for now the poison had warn off, but her ankle was still throbbing from the bite. "You should go find your parents and leave this area." She said, moving her eyes onto the girl and speaking calmly, yet with a small hint of authority. She looked at the cloth and narrowed her eyes a little. It must be for someone that was injured by the attack on the town. "Who is that for?" She asked the girl curiously, tilting her head a little.

The girl ignored Noah and dipped one last piece of cloth in the water. By now the bottom of her dress was shredded and came up to about mid thigh. The girl took the cloth and looked at the mermaid. "Um... I don't know if you have any, but would you have some healing oil?" Even though she was only 5, her mother had taught her to be resourceful. Living in the village wasn't always easy, and some nights she and her family had to go hungry. Now those skills and foodless nights were coming in handy. The girl looked at the mermaid and managed a smile smile. "Mama and I will pay you back later for it."

As Serena listened to the conversation she realized the Getsus girl wasn't going to hurt the young girl and relaxed.

The little girl didn't look scared at all. Suddenly she looked up at the mermaid.

"Um... I don't know if you have any, but would you have some healing oil?"

Serena smiled.

"No oil, but I could try to find something else underwater, it'll only take a minute," she said, swimming down.

When she came back to the surface she had 3 little yellow plants in her hand.

"The juices in these should help a little. You can use salt water to speed up the healing process. Is it for you or for someone else? I sensed a pretty wounded person nearby." Serena looked at the little girl. She seemed to take on a lot of responsibility for her age. "I could help if you want. I can heal people and it's much faster than plants or oils. You can come to me if it's necessary," Serena offered, smiling, and gave the plants to the girl.
