Appearance
Gear Form (With Familiars Vulture and Petra)
In her Gear form, Noel has the form of a slender woman in her late teens or early twenties , although chronologically she's only 3 years old. She has a large, glossy black tail, and a pair of different colored wings (one colored pine green, and the other a mint green color) which double as containers her familiars, Vulture and Petra. Whenever Vulture and/or Petra are released from her wings, they turn snow white.
She normally ties her long hair in a loose ponytail, tied back with large yellow bow (she also has a yellow bow tied to the end of her tail) and has long bangs on the front and sides of her head. For clothes, she typically wears a skimpy black dress, black straps on her thighs, black thigh-high stockings, and white boots with small black plates and blue trim.
Human Form (With Lily Armor Equipped)
In her human form (Sabrina), Noel compresses her wings and tail that they become invisible. Her hair and eye color change to more normal colors. Her hair becomes much more shorter, although it still falls past her shoulders.
In this form she normally wears her hair in a high ponytail, tied back with a ribbon (the color depends on her outfit). She wears a wide variety of outfits - ranging from dresses to pants & tunic - but she is modest in whatever she wears.
PersonalityNoel has an outgoing personality; she is confident in herself, and doesn't mind being the center of attention (except when she doesn't
). When interacting with others, she's generally friendly and polite, but she can quickly become nasty when dealing with rude people. An inquisitive person, she loves to learn and investigate the world and people around her.
Being a vetran, Noel abhors fighting, but she will fight - and kill - when it is necessary. She has a low opinion of combat junkies and people who fight for trivial reasons.
BiographyBackground Information:*Republic of Cambria: A now defunct state that was located in Western Bloom, its territories now absorbed into the Pheran Empire. Prior to its annexation, Cambria had existed for 250 years. Cambrians had been renowned for their impressive magic-based technology. They were also infamous for being xenophobic and extremely protective of said technology, always infusing the materials of their most most powerful items, such as the MSD (see below), with earth-based charms so that only native Cambrians could use them. (To qualify as a native Cambrian, one would once would have to have been born in Cambria and have at least one parent born in Cambria as well.)
*[WIP]Pheran Empire: A small empire located in Western Bloom. The Pherans are the creators of the Servants.
*Cambric-Phero War: A three year war fought between the countries of Cambria and Pheros. The conflict began as a limited war to gain control of the the resource-rich lands of the Eastern Black Earth, but soon grew into a total war when Cambria decided to invade Pheros after conquering the Eastern Black Earth. The war ended with the defeat of Cambria by Pheros and its allies.
When the war began, the Pherans, with their large army and large corp of Servants, expected a quick victory over the much smaller army of Cambria. But the Pherans had underestimated their enemies; While the Cambrian Army was numerically inferior to the Pheran Army, they had superior training, equipment, and motivation. They also had the Gears, which much more powerful than their Pheran counterparts, the Servants.
The Cambrians took advantage of the Pherans' hubris, and were quickly able to route their astonished neighbors and push them out of Eastern Black Earth. Technically, the Cambrians had won the war by then, but the leadership predicted that the Pherans would attempt to re-invade Eastern Black Earth at a later time, or even try to invade Cambria itself, so they decided to invade Pheros in order to destroy their war-fighting capabilities.
The first year of invasion went well for the Cambrians. The Pheran Army had been greatly weakened by their earlier defeats to the Cambrians in Eastern Black Earth, so they could do little to stop the advance of the Cambrians. By the end of the year, the Cambrians had conquered about 30% Pheran territory.
Desperate to halt the advances of the Cambrians, the Pheran leadership began spending vast sums of money to hire mercenary armies to attack Cambria and thus divide the Cambrian Army with a two front war.
*Gears: Humanoid, magic-based biological weapons. Gears posses posses prodigy-level intelligence, augmented physical abilities, the ability to regenerate, and supernatural powers like energy projection. They were developed by the Cambrian Army to boost the strength of Cambria's formidable, but small military.
Gears are produced by taking a baby** and implanting them with a device called an MSD (Magic Storage Device). The MSD causes the babies to mature into adults very rapidly - 18 months. While maturing, the babies also make the transition from a human to a Gear. The transition includes mutations to the physical form. (In Noel's case, it was the color change to her hair and eyes, and growth of a tail and wings.) With training, Gears can learn to suppress their mutations and to look like normal humans.
**The vast majority of babies used to make Gears were secretly bred by the Cambrian government, using foreign women purchased from slavers to have the children. After giving birth, the slaves were either used to produce more children, or they were killed in order to keep the government's secret from being revealed. (The Cambrians were very good at destroying the evidence, and even to this day, no one can verify that the Cambrians used slaves to produce Gear candidates.)
*Magic Storage Device (MSD): The power-source of the Gears. MSD's are apple-sized crystals infused with several years worth (and in the case of the most powerful Gears, several decades worth) of magical energy. The magical energy for each MSD was initially gathered from dozens of of slaughtered monsters and demons, but those sources began to run out quickly as more MSDs were produced, so energy was later gathered from cosmic sources like starlight. Because so much energy is concentrated within the crystals, they posses a nearly limitless reserve of energy, but they are also highly unstable, so limits - in the form of powerful sealing spells - must be placed on the MSDs output to keep them from overloading from extensive use. This means that Gears will only have access to a finite, albeit large, supply of magic during combat. However, as Gears gain more experience in accessing their MSDs for power, the seals will automatically begin to breakdown and allow them to access to increasingly greater supplies of energy for combat.
Like all important pieces of Cambrian technology, MSDs can only be used by native Cambrians. Several attempts have been made by the Pherans and others to replicate MSDs for their personal use, but thus far all of their efforts have ended in failure.
*[WIP] Servants: Supersoldiers created from the spirits of dead warriors. Servants were were originally developed by the Pherans, but they shared their creation techniques with Sunliteans (Sunlit Kingdom) so now the Sunliteans have the ability to summon Servants of their own.
Origins (0-1):Noel was born on a late December night to a slave woman in a black site within Cambria. Almost immediately after her birth, she was taken from her mother by the Cambrian Army to be transformed into a Gear. For the next year, she trained to control her powers and to become a soldier. The training was hard, but Noel - never knowing anything else - came to enjoy it. Her favorite aspect of the training was armed combat, specifically swords. She would train with swords often, and thus became very adept in their use.
For reasons still unclear to Noel, she was one of a select few chosen to receive a pair of daemons (combat type magical constructs) which were sealed to each of her wings. Her regular magic training had to be interrupted so that she could learn to control her familiars. Because of the interruption, Noel would never learn to control her own powers properly until after the war. Until then, Noel would rely primarily on her swordsmanship - in conjunction with operating her familiars - during combat.
