noctis lucis caelum

★ Backtagging: always!
★ Threadhopping: always fine in open network threads, otherwise please ask first
★ Fourthwalling: no thanks
★ Off Limits: excessive body horror (some is fine)

★ Hugging: great from close CR, loves to cuddle with intimate/romantic partners. Doesn't like to be touched in any way he doesn't initiate himself or agree to ahead of time with less close CR and will act to escape/stop it.
★ Kissing: he's unused to it, but once he becomes more comfortable with it, he's a big fan! Always up for it from intimate/romantic partners, may accept platonic kisses (head, cheek, etc.) from close or friendly CR. Once he starts awakening his inner romantic, he's a menace with flirty hand kisses.
★ Flirting: please do! May not pick up on it if it's too subtle. If he does, he may shut it down or try to flirt back and be awkward about it. Much more confident when it comes from someone he's close to, though still can be a huge dork about it. The more in tune he is with his romantic side, the more actual game he can manifest.
★ Romance: yes! he doesn't quite realize it yet, but he's actually a hopeless romantic and can fall pretty easily once he warms up enough to someone. Depending on canon point, he might be reluctant to act on such feelings - early on he thinks he's too "cool," and from the Crystal onward he's wary of getting too close to people because he knows he'll have to leave them as soon as his task is done.
★ Sex: yes! he's inexperienced but interested. Has some trouble doing it entirely casually - he always feels some kind of connection with an intimate partner, whether romantic or otherwise.
★ Fighting: bring it! Loves a good fight, especially against monsters, mechs, and other non-sapient opponents because then he can go all out. Can be less enamored of sparring depending on how tired he is on any given day and how much of a challenge the opponent is. In dire circumstances, has a tendency to lose his temper and resort to violence against enemies (or occasionally objects) as a kneejerk reaction when his emotions run high, though less so at later canon points.
★ Injury: sure, I'm game. Noctis doesn't like being injured, especially when it's bad enough to cause him inconvenience or lingering pain, and will complain about it.
★ Death: not unless we've discussed it first and have a specific purpose for it as a character development tool
★ Offensive Subjects/Warnings: Anyone making major sacrifices on his behalf is traumatic for him, as well as having to abandon people who need him. Doesn't cope well with failing to meet expectations of him, no matter how unrealistic they are. Also reacts poorly to being lied to or manipulated, dangers or threats to his loved ones, those who bully others. CWs for interacting with Noctis may include grief, loss, depression, chronic pain and fatigue, and isolation.

★ Visual: Perpetually disheveled black hair, dark blue eyes (sometimes glowing magenta), wiry build, pretty athletic but not the most graceful. Limps slightly when jogging/running. His magic shines with blue-white radiance.
★ Aural: English VA: Ray Chase. Listen here!
★ Demeanor/Attitude: Laid-back, introverted, awkward, tired, moody, sassy, sarcastic, supportive, open-minded, kind, empathetic, gullible, eager to please. A huge dork when he feels comfortable. Can be quick-tempered, aggressive and reckless in anger; withdrawn and isolating when upset; dramatic and proud when excited; irritable when inconvenienced or forced to do things he doesn't want to. There's a regal True King in there somewhere, but he has yet to discover that side of himself.

★ Armiger: essentially a hammerspace used mostly for weapons and other useful supplies
★ Versatility: he's well-trained in the use of every type of weapon known to Lucis, including large shields, and his innate magic gives him the enhanced strength and mobility to use them effectively. Usually favors the sword.
★ Warping: can cross distances instantly by following a thrown projectile, stay airborne during aerial attack combos, and briefly "blink" (i.e. phase) through solid objects/blows; can perform special attacks directly out of this teleport.
★ Elemancy: can sense and gather sources of elemental energy; if he has a magic flask, he can use these energies to create spell grenades.
★ Crafting Potions:can enchant existing beverages to create various kinds of potions depending on the type of drink used (mostly energy drinks), including healing, MP restoration, and others.
★ Royal Arms & Armiger Unleashed: once he builds up enough magical potential in battle, he can levitate and summon a ring of spectral copies of the 13 Royal Arms that whirls around him, shielding him from attacks and enhancing his warp-strikes and combos. If he builds up even more magical potential, he can unleash this power to greatly enhance all his combat capabilities and perform powerful attack combos and AoE finishing moves.
★ Combat Leadership: if fighting alongside allies he knows well, he can coordinate their individual techniques tactically and call for paired or group techniques/combos that utilize the strengths of each fighter.
★ Summoning: once he's made pacts with an Astral being, he can summon them to aid him in battle, although they tend to just show up when they feel like it
★ Ring of the Lucii: when wielding the Ring, he has access to three powerful spells: Holy (protects him from harm and deals light damage to the source), Death (he absorbs a target's life force/HP), and Alterna (breaks open a hole in reality and sucks foes out into another dimension??). The spirits of the Lucii dwell within the Ring and can channel themselves through him to communicate or fend off mental intrusion. They can also speak directly to him telepathically, if they choose. The Ring can only be wielded by the Chosen King; anyone else who dares to try gets immolated.
★ Wall: like his father, Noctis is theoretically capable of conjuring magical shields, ranging in size from a single person to an entire city. However, he has yet to master this ability.
★ Power Sharing: Noctis can share some aspects of his power with others, but it's very draining to do so and requires a lot of trust.

Note: All of Noctis' powers sap his energy and life force to some degree. Some, like warping, sap such a small amount that it only becomes relevant if he does it excessively in a short period of time. Others, like the Wall, the Ring spells, or wielding the Royal Arms, drain his life force much more quickly. His magical and physical stamina are both pretty low compared to other characters of roughly equivalent power.
