Hair
While mainly brown in color, Noah's hair occasionally seems take on an odd green tint in certain lightings. He seems to dislike it, but doesn't say anything about it unless someone else points it out. It's somewhat on the lengthier side, growing down his neck and making way for his shoulders if he lets it go and doesn't cut it for the next while. Pieces fall over his forehead, though it parts on the left side of his head.
Eyes
Noah's eyes are about the same brown color as his hair, and occasionally take the green tone as well, though he doesn't seem to mind it so much as he does with his hair. Typically they seem to hold a warm look or high energy, but there're times when they look distracted, lost, or just off.
Height
5'7"
Weight
135 lbs
Body Build/Shape
Athletic, Noticeably Toned
Attire
His attire tends to vary greatly, though while on shift at work, can be found most often in uniform, that consisting of a typical operator's outfit adjusted to be comfortable in Atlea's heat. Basically, a white, fitted tank top with a high, fitted collar, a teal "jacket" that's short sleeved, popped yellow collar, and lined red around the edges of the sleeves, while only reaching down to about the midsection of his torso. Teal shorts along with that, and then a variety of whatever shoes he happens to be wanting to wear that day.
Besides his work uniform, Noah often wears t-shirts, typically more on the fitted side with higher necklines, or in colder weather, loose hoodies. The shorts he wears in warmer weather, usually more on the loose side, and in the colder weather longer pants that are fitted comfortably. His shoes often vary, as he has no preference for them.
Tattoos and Piercings
His ears were pierced at the lobes, although his left ended up being ripped out, and as such he let them grow back in while the one healed. He's not sure if he wants to get them repierced or not, but it's likely a no.
Notable Scars
Noah does have a collection of scars scattered over his body, with the most noticeable starting at his left ear, the lobe having a long, awkward looking "tear" from the center to the bottom. Next is at his neck, usually covered by his shirt collars save for maybe the tip of it, looking as if someone had swung at him with a blade of some sort. There's several faint ones scattered around his arms, big, small, as if he'd been grabbed too hard or clawed at...the same with his legs. There's odd, splotchy ones around his back as well.

Personality
[ Warm, Energetic, Quick Learner, Insecure ]
For those who have come to know Noah, they'd be quick to realize he's a rather warm person. Normally giving off a rather relaxing and welcoming aura, most people would say he's easy to approach, talk to, and be in the company of without feeling too awkward and uncomfortable. While not necessarily having a quiet or gentle voice, it's nothing harsh or loud either, and despite his high energy he does usually manage to keep it in control and calm, or at least when he's working. He lets loose quite a bit easier when he's around friends or his father, as he feels he can trust them most.
While he is mostly in control of his energy despite its typical high levels, Noah is a very active and lively person. It can be seen clearest through his actions and movements and in his voice as well, what with him often talking with his hands, and his voice often taking on a variety of tones and pitches when he gets more excited about things. Of course he doesn't usually let his energy show out so much in general, choosing instead to keep it under control as to not overwhelm others, though as said before, he doesn't mind relaxing and letting himself let go around close friends and family.
Perhaps a trait gained through his desire to progress and excel, to succeed with flying colors in his classes, or maybe just something he's had since he was young and was lucky enough to be gifted with, he's very much a quick learner, taking in new information and learning new skills with ease unlike most others do. It allowed him to move through his classes and work at the ranger school much faster than the others in his classes, and continues to allow him to progress further in his career as an operator. It shows best, however, through his use of any sort of tech: computers, phones, codes, other things of that sort. Give him something to work with, and he'll be able to figure it out faster than you'd think, even if you don't guide him through it.
A final quality that may be harder to catch if you aren't around Noah as consistent or often - he's horribly insecure. An obvious point of origin being that of the emotional abuse afflicted upon him throughout those five years, he struggles heavily with self worth and esteem, and finds it hard to see the positive qualities in himself. In his depressive bouts he often struggles to see why anyone would even have the slightest desire to be around someone like him as well, and as such often isolates himself for the duration. While he does try to keep the insecurity hidden, it does show through in the odd looks his expression will occasionally take on - often when seeing a reflection of himself, or if he's left by himself in the quiet for too long - or the struggle for him to seemingly genuinely accept a compliment and the like. While he has improved compared to where he used to be years before, it's still something that affects him greatly, and at this point doesn't seem as if it'll ever be completely gone.

Strengths

• Tech - Partly thanks to the training at the ranger school, partly thanks to the time he spent messing around with things in his room to hide away from his step father, Noah does incredibly well with most tech-type things, being able to operate them with ease.
• Stamina - Mainly thanks to having to build up endurance at the ranger school and thanks to him keeping up on the exercises despite it not necessarily being required with his position, Noah has a high stamina, and is able to keep himself moving/going for long length of time.
• Quick Learner - A quality that shined through more when he finally made it to the ranger school, Noah is quick to catch onto new things for the most part, and can easily learn how to do them himself in much shorter amounts of times than the average person.

Weaknesses

• Pain Tolerance - Despite his past of physical abuse, Noah has a very low pain tolerance and is unable to handle very much of it.
• Insecure - Due to suffering through abuse at home, as well as other experiences throughout his life, Noah is known to be rather insecure about himself, and has a low self worth.
• Depressive Bouts - They come around every so often, mainly due to the trauma of his past; Noah occasionally will fall into depressive episodes, though does his best to continue functioning and doing his work through each one all the same. Often it's easy to tell when he's dropped into one, what with him seeming distracted, or in a daze, lost energy, just overall seeming off.

Fears

• Step Father - Jayden Lawson, the man his mother dated and married, and then left him alone with, without a second thought. After suffering emotional and physical abuse from the man for around five years, Noah finds himself unable to handle the thought of ever having to see him again.
• Failure - He's not exactly fond of the idea of failure, perhaps because disappointing others is like torture to him, and as such may overwork himself in order to ensure success...or if he's scared enough and it's possible, avoid the entire situation as best he can.
• Losing Nimue - She’s grown incredibly important to Noah, has practically become his whole world. He can’t even begin to think about losing her, not even sure he could continue living without her. The thought of it just makes him absolutely sick.
