Quote: "Are you done talking? There isn't any way, shape or form that you can get out of this. The fact is, you're gonna die. So shut up and deal with it."

Physical Appearance
Nox looks like a young man, though it's been said he looks older(20-ish). With short, black hair that has Dark Blue highlights, he stands at 6'0'' and has Midnight Blue eyes. He also has a long scar, leading from through his left eye down to his right cheek.''

Nox has the build of a runner, slight fat, and more corded muscle then anything. As a Merc, you don't really succeed of you're not in shape. His body is compromised of muscle abd 5% scar tissue, though his face has remained mostly untouched. (I know it doesn't seem like that much scarring, but 5% is actually quite a bit.)

Dressing in what he calls "Casual but conservative", Nox is rarely seen without a hoody or some type of long sleeve. Underneath that, he usually wears some type of t-shirt and pants. Though he always has combat boots on, generally with some kind of knife in a sheath. The only accesory he has is a blue wolf-pendant necklace, given to him by his father figure. Supposedly. it was from his "Father's" wife. The neckpiece is slightly feminine, but he treasures it like nothing else.

Personality
Nox has been likened to a frozen wolf: Cold and Vicious, with a gift for finding weaknesses, but loyal to his family. While in public, he lets his brother talk, only spiiting out insults when addressed. You never see Nox smile, except for a malicious smirk when someone does something extraordinarily stupid. Because that leads to either: A. Sarcasm. Or B. Some rather Cruel remark.

In private, he's more approachable, generally being nicer and laughing. Though still sarcastic, it's generally got a warmth to it. Showing a great deal of protective instincts toward his younger brother than one would expect, he quickly comes to Umbra's defense. Though he is not above smacking his brother upside the head or taking him down a few pegs.

He has shown some suicidal tendancies: General disregard for his own wellfare, using himself as a distraction, etc.

History
Noctum is an orphan. Never knew his parents, never cared to. His thoughts were "If someone has the will to abandon a child on the streets, then they're not worth knowing. The other alternative is they're dead. Not much you can do, there." Living off the streets, he stole what he needed to survive. Occasionally, he stole more than what was required. He got a little brother that way: They both set to rob a watch shop, going after a rather expensive timepiece. There was a fight, which ended with the older kid winning. Finding Umbra a kindred spirit, he took the younger child with him. They survived for years, finding some people who liked them(certain merchants) and others who hated the two (gang leaders: didn't like the competition).

His father figure, Borealis, took the Brothers in when he was ten(Umbra was 8)instructing him in the ways of mercenary work. He met the "crotchety old geezer" after watching him beat the living crap out of a gang. Immediatly recognizing the "Rep" he would get from robbing him, Nox set out to steal something of the Old Man's. He almost succeeded, until the Borealis walked in. Realizing the talent, the Ex-Mercenary took the two in, giving them a place to live in exchange for company and house cleaning. The elder trained them in the ways of Mercenaries, augmenting thier natural skills: Umbra was better at ranged combat, where as Nox had a natural affinity for close range. Then, tragedy struck the two.

3 years later, Borealis was killed by a "Trigger Happy Theif", who thought it would be a good idea to rob an old man. The two took it hard, Umbra more so than Nox. They devoted themselves to their work, their own way of grieving. Up until the Brothers came across a rather interesting argument between three girls.

He split up an altercation between the Sisters and the Ice Queen(Props to whoever figures out these three), and forced them to talk it out. Though it was more of them annoying him than actually trying to avoid conflict. They became friends rather quickly, and had a system: Nox would defuse any altercations, be it between the friends or outside influences. Umbra was the talkative, overly friendly one. One of the Sisters pranked everyone. The other was a nice, cheerful girl. And the "Ice Queen" was quiet, and cunningly intelligent. He even ended up in a rather...interesting relationship, at age 14.

Things went well for a year, up until he disappeared. Taken by some group, he shows up on his doorstep, bleeding and covered in tattoos. Nox decided to run, not willing to risk the others, seeing as he didn't know what actually went down. His brother followed, despite his protests. Loyal to a fault, Umbra was determined to stick by him. Now, the Brothers are some of the absolute best in the Merc business.

Combat
In a world known for gifted people, Nox is the undisputed hand to hand combatant. Borealis made him study human anatomy and physiology, and trained him accordingly. The man has some of the most hand to hand skill ever seen. With a style both simple and complex, he delivers devistatingly fast blows to vitals. This debilitates the opponents, often setting them up for a final, often lethal blow.

He uses a Honor-Class High Velocity Rifle Sword named Nightfall. Firing in rapid bursts, he usually stays close in, using movement as his protection. With a simple touch, Nightfall shifts into a single bladed longsword. Losing the firing mechanism, he fixs that with throwing knives(explosive and blade variations) Using a samurai-esq style with European influences, he relies more on speed and precision than power. Though, when available, a strong attack may show itself.
