nolan hawthorne tell me reality is better than a dream. general info
appearance Nolan is a tall young man with a slender physique. He's not abundantly equipped in terms of muscle mass. Instead, his stature towers at a height of 5"11 with long lanky legs that he has yet to fully grow into. From a first impression he looks no older than an upper-aged teen, his casual street-wear preference of attire additionally eluding this perception. Naturally being an actively moving person, however, his body is toned with hinted muscle that is mostly defined in his arms and chest. A few faded scars hint his frame with the more prominent ones crossing along the sculpture of his left shoulder and near the region of his heart. His Caramel brown hair is of medium-length and styled casually, falling into natural layers that cup the sides of his cheeks and nape of his neck. Light brown eyes sit upon the peach complexion of his face. He keeps his appearance clean and maintained, albeit with some nonchalance in how he styles his hair and throws on his clothing. A welcoming expression often exudes from him, with an attractive charming smile and easygoing aura surfacing around him. His once white wings have lost their purity, with few surviving speckles of white hidden within their layers. His wings are now over-taken by hues of Obsidian and highlighted by a very dark navy blue. personality
abilities Minor Darkness Manipulation: (Beginner) Having turned Fallen and not born as one, Darkness Manipulation is of newer territory to him and not something he's accepted as part of himself until recent times. Currently, he can both intentionally and unintentionally summon it, albeit times of which it occurs without intentions are stronger due to the natural source of Darkness have fuller reign than himself. Small or large shadows, dark mists, and searing spirals are what often take form. They're capable of holding, strangling, and lashing attacks. Minor Light Manipulation: (Advanced) Growing up an Angel gave him an upper-edge in being better skilled in Light Manipulation as to Darkness. Light is still his preferred choice of offense for this very reason. He's lost the full source of Light magic he was once able to harness but he's nonetheless worked with what he's had left, and hard, rendering him very capable of making powerful use of what he's got. Having previously mostly used Light manipulation for offense anyway has further enabled him to successfully continue part of his once-inherited craft. Nolan is able to summon small shields and spear-like light rays. He's prone to overexertion when forgetting his limitations but is a stubborn fighter who will continue to fight even when he's reached his breaking point. Hexes: (Beginner, Almost Intermediate) Nolan has paid little attention to Hexing and its only as of a recent when he's decided to finally embrace the darker side that will forever be part of his existence. He still has reservations on the actual processes behind hexes and has only used chalk, to attempt gaining Sight to see where his brother is. This is his one true motivation for picking up this practice and why he is adamantly practicing. Blessings: (Intermediate) Unfortunately having once been advanced in his Blessings, Nolan has downgraded after being out of practice for awhile and no longer having the same amount of Light within him. When not stuck in his own head, can cast a durable Blessing on an individual. The more trusting and genuinely fond he is of the person, the better effects a Blessing will have on them. Wing Manifestation: (Advanced) Flying is a desire that's always filled his chest and from the moment he's been able to, Nolan has striven to master flight. He's done a lot of it ever since he can remember and has a fluent ability to float, glide, and soar once Manifesting his wings. He enjoys flying fast and challenging against high winds. Because of how hasty and prone to energy-wasting recklessness he is, Nolan is limited to how quickly he can manifest them and is unable to do so whenever not setting aside enough mindful focus. Immunities: (Natural) Electricity Immunity is a natural ability trait of his that derives from his once Heavenly blood. It's impossible for him too be shocked or injured, through natural causes or through attacks from other species. He also is immune to the effects of Holy Water for this same reasoning and is able to bypass Wards and Totems. Fire Immunity is a trait he's been bestowed with after becoming Fallen, rendering him unable to be born and also able to withstand extreme hot temperatures. Lastly, Nolan is immune to aging and has Ceased the Aging Process shortly after turning 19 years of age. He still looks very much like a teenager with a reckless, energetic temperament to boot. backstory Nolan was born to a married, middle class couple whom lived in a small seaside town bordering the American west coast. An Apprentice jeweler mother and Fisherman father raised him in a simple and modest upbringing. The only extraordinary thing about his life being what he was born as, the first Angel known to their family tree. His human father and gifted mother were proud of their son, and for his species alone, the town was extremely welcoming towards the family. He grew up with a happy childhood, having many friends in school, plenty of children to play with, and parents whom were caring and present. Nolan was never alone nor was he ever given a reason to doubt himself. As he neared ten years of age, became much more of a handful with plenty of wild energy packed into his small body. He developed boyish, mischief ways that resulted in him frequently being scolded by his mother whom was at times temperamental towards him while his father attempted to teach him peaceful and wise lessons in life. For that reason he was closer with his father. Happily, the man taught his son all that he knew of fishing, sailing, and the creatures that dwelt within the open waters. His adventurous curiosity lead him to attempt flying at a very young age, inspired by the stories of winged heroes whom flew so high they could swim among the clouds. Every bruise and scratch he received from his attempts of taking off into a flight, Nolan persistently picked himself right back up. A few boys he became closer friends with served as the perfect rivals for practicing magical abilities through games, dares, challenges, and pranks that got them into trouble. By the time he was twelve, another member was introduced to the family, a younger human brother named Basil. Much like how Nolan looked up to his father, Basil looked up to him as an older brother... and the feeling was one that gave Nolan a new-found happiness and purpose. He loved his brother and enjoyed spending time with him, protecting him, and brightening Basil's mood with a smile whenever the boy was upset. Basil was calm, peaceful, and gentle and as the youngest son grew, their mother worried about what influence Nolan's rowdiness would have on him. When the summer came along, she convinced her husband that it would be best for Nolan to send him off on retreats geared towards training the abilities of magically inclined youth. She hoped that kind of environment would help him mature... but the experience and praise Nolan received as an Angel, and as a handsome young man, went to his head. Returning home, the boy was met with even more more praise and admiration from peers whom expressed fantastical interest in his summer adventures. This would continue for three years into high school, enjoying the companionship of his friends, family, and popularity among his peers. While on a family camping trip before senior year began, an unexpected terrible thunder storm blew in. His mother left to find safety with Basil while Nolan agreed to stay with his father, gathering what little of their items they could before leaving to catch up with them. His father placed blind faith in his eldest son, insisting that it would be faster if he were to fly while carrying him. His father served as his GPS, telling him where to fly.... and once traveling down the mountainous slope of trees, a horrible creature laid eyes upon them. Black, winged like a bat, and viciously taloned, the monster emerged from the trees and zip-lined towards them. Desperately Nolan flew to escape but he wasn't strong enough to carry his father in their race for survival. One hit taken from the creature, and his hold was broken, sending the man tumbling. The creature didn't stop in its chase, forcing Nolan to fly into a narrow cave of the mountainside, claws violently tearing at the rocks to reach him. Its interest waned but not without a distant, morbid squealing of its kind calling forth from a distance. He searched to find where his father had fallen, clinging to the slim hope that something had broken the impact of his fall. What he found permanently engraved a traumatic image in his head.... of his own father's remains. A TRS rescue squad found him and took him back to the town for shelter, where he was rejoined by his mother and brother. A high-ranking terror onslaught massacred two of the nearby towns and surrounding outskirts. Emergency centers opened in their small seaside town for survivors of the attack, which would remain open for the remainder of his school days. His mother fell into a depression over the death of her husband, unable to hold her job and unable to properly take care of her sons. Nolan stepped into the role of caring for his family, and doing what he could to keep their homelife sustainable. Through his smiles for his brother's well-being, misery and guilt for his father's death plagued him. For weeks Nolan was unable to summon his wings, until suffering an excruciating pain. In place of his once white wings, Obsidian feathers slowly appeared, mangled as though belonging to that of a newborn Fallen. Secrets shrouded his entire existence, never letting anyone know of his Fallen status and attempting to keep what was left of his family pieced together. The laughing faces of his friends, the sympathy of their townsfolk and peers, Basil's admiration and trust towards him.... all of it made him feel like a fraud and monster among them. Many of his friends pitched in to help with his brother, and his mother, tempting Nolan to wonder if he should trust in them and tell the truth. Uncertainty surrounded him until graduation. He postponed plans for University to stay and help his family, and while some of his friends departed on their own paths into adulthood, many stayed. One boy in particular whom he had grown very close to, he confided in with his darkest secret. Within days rumors spread like wildfire about him and what happened with his father, some rumors tripling into worse tales. When his mother confronted him, the truth was revealed. The damage caused by such rumors was not reversed. Formerly kind faces turned into disgust. The friends and friendly acquaintances he once had no longer treated him well, nor did they want anything to do with him. In his mother's declining mental health, the fate of her youngest son being cared for by a foster family while she worked on getting her life back together was one she could swallow much better than having her youngest be watched over her reckless, failure son.... who was responsible for her husband's death. Nolan arrived home to find his brother gone and his mother disowning him. Her rejection and refusal of telling him where Basil had been sent ignited an angered determination to find him... and so, he searched. The young boy was nowhere near their town. He searched with no luck and found himself completely alone. Only two friends survived from his Fallen transformation, both being from his summer retreats, and they offered him a place to temporarily stay. He never fully gave up on finding his brother but he was always met with the same absence. The following years were dark with no meaning left in his life. Nolan fell completely off track, having nothing else to loose. His coping mechanism for all that was permanently lost was through taking it out on the world, through delinquency and aggression. In time, he was taught by the patient presence of his friends that he inevitably needed to accept the Hell given Darkness that was now part of him and to stop tormenting himself. His two friends stayed by his side through the worst phase of his life and it was because of them that he came to his senses. He ceased his aging process to ensure that his brother would recognize him when they met again and set upon learning how to use Darkness and Hexes to obtain Sight in where his brother was located, discovering that Hexes offered advantages that Blessings lacked. He set his focus on Hexing until eventually, a foggy vision of his brother appeared with the help of another. They were able to decipher the location as one within the territories between the Canadian cities Lorsette and Aria. He decided to travel to Canada and reconnect with Basil despite all odds set against him. Both of his friends joined him in his pursuit, leaving America for a new journey. The group of three made ends meet and for the time being, have joined together to pay for rent on a cheap apartment in Lorsette while seeking work to keep them afloat for however it takes to meet paths again with Nolan's younger brother. misc Nolan was Captain of his summer camp's Sky Rugby Team. He enjoys fast food and snacks. Given that he stopped aging while still in a teenage body, his metabolism is impeccable. He really likes wearing hooded sweatshirts and beanies. He is a Leo. | roleplayer info ☆ NAME mochisprite ☆ RP EXPERIENCE 7+ years ☆ OTHER CHARACTERS Myrcella Dior ☆ FACE CLAIM YOUR LIE IN APRIL, ryota watari ---------------------- THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO MOCHISPRITE.
