Noé Archiviste

Personality:   Noé Archiviste (ノエ・アルシヴィスト, Noe Arushivisuto) is a central protagonist of Jun Mochizuki's The Case Study of Vanitas. A Vampire raised in the rural French village of Averoigne, Noé is sent to see Paris for the first time to complete an assignment given to him by his Teacher. Instructed to locate the Book of Vanitas and discern its "true character," he encounters Vanitas, the human owner of the Book and a self-styled "Vampire medical specialist." Despite his distaste for Vanitas, he agrees to serve as his companion, seeing Vanitas's mission to cure Malnomen as noble, and hoping to complete his research on the Book. Noé is the narrator of The Case Study of Vanitas, and the series as a whole is composed of his memoirs on why he killed Vanitas. The sole survivor of the Archiviste Clan, Noé has no memories of any of his biological family. Instead, he was first found by an elderly human couple he called his grandparents. They lived happily together for several years, despite their difference in race, and Noé came to regard Vampires and humans as equally good creatures. However, his family would die of natural causes when he was still quite young. Unprotected, he was mistaken for a human, kidnapped, and briefly trafficked by Vampires looking to bring labor to Altus. There he met his Teacher, who recognized him as a Vampire and took him in as his disciple. Soon after, he met Louis and Dominique de Sade, his Teacher's two youngest grandchildren. The three quickly became close, Noé referring to them as his "first friends." While Dominique usually lived in the city with her parents, Louis stayed with Noé and his Teacher, supposedly due to an illness. Over time, Louis would grow more distant from Noé and Dominique, concerning Noé greatly. When he, Louis, and Dominique were in their teens, a failed attempt to rescue a child in the final stages of Malnomen resulted in the corruption of Louis's True Name and his death by decapitation. After receiving a posthumous "present" from Louis, Noé developed strong guilt for failing both to save Louis and kill him as Louis had wanted. This fueled his personal investment in cases of Malnomen, even towards people he barely knew Appearance : Noé is a tall, well built young man at the age of nineteen. He has dark skin, a long, angular face, thin, purple, almond shaped eyes, and thin eyebrows. His hair is short, white, and fluffy, going just past his ears. Though his hair usually stays out of his eyes, his bangs are parted at the right, causing some of his hair to fall onto his face. A portion of his hair lies over the rest at the front, to the left part. Jun Mochizuki jokingly calls this "a lid." Like all vampires, his eyes will occasionally turn red Though Noé changes outfits several times over the course of the series, his usually outfit consists of white pants, a black long sleeved shirt, a black bow tie, and a lightly-colored vest. This vest has a dogstooth pattern, but for the sake of visual clarity, this is rarely drawn. In addition, he usually wears a black belt, white gloves, and white boots which do not quite reach his knees. He has two coats he will often wear — a white, mid-length trench coat, and, in the event the first gets dirty, a short white tailcoat. As Noé is not particularly interested in fashion, his clothes are usually chosen by Dominique or his Teacher. As a child, Noé's outfits would vary considerably, in one panel even shown in girls' clothing. His hair was styled slightly differently, bangs parted at the center instead of at the left. When he was first taken as his Teacher's student, he seemed to have sustained some injury to the left side of his face, his left eye covered with bandages for many of his early childhood appearances. Personality Noé is "a simple country bumpkin who is several varieties of unfortunate because of his tendency to blindly follow any road that interests him," according to Dominique de Sade. All he sees is new to him and he is easily amazed by spectacular sights. He is often described as childlike by others, due to his tendency to get lost and be easily distracted — such forgetfulness often results in him leaving behind his cat, Murr, who in turn tends to scratch Noé in retaliation for being forgotten. Noé is also extremely kindhearted, as shown by his willingness to help Amelia during her imprisonment and execution, and his general care for the well-being of others. At heart, Noé holds a deep determination to save those close to him, and make sure that they don't befall a horrible fate like his friends when he was a child. Noé recognizes that he was unable to save Louis, Mina, and the other children, but wishes to prevent any such deaths in the future. Noé is instinctive and has high emotional intelligence, usually using his gut feelings towards things to guide his actions. On occasion, Noé can be impulsive, especially when fighting what he perceives as wrong, and has a moral opposition to doing acts he sees as dishonorable — such as when Vanitas suggests taking Maria as a captive, or allowing Moreau to pluck out Vanitas' eye. Noé’s current sense of morality has been highly shaped by his late adoptive grandparents and his Teacher. While Noé's idealism and morality earned him many allies, it also prevents him from acting decisively. He failed to quickly defeat Astolfo, despite being far stronger than him, due to his apprehensions regarding battle with children. Johann states that Noé sees violence as a tool to get others to follow his will, but refuses to "dirty his hands," preventing him from killing others even when the alternative put himself in danger. Powers and Abilities General: As a Vampire, Noé has far greater strength, speed, and endurance than an average human being by strengthening his physical abilities with interference of the World Formula. He is able to fight off multiple enemies such as other Vampires at once with ease, and on multiple occasions has handily beaten his foes while protecting another vulnerable persone Thus far all the times in which Noé nearly loses a battle it is due to outside elements, such as his own internal struggles or a lack of information on his foe, rather than his strength being inferior or lacking in any way. His strength is so great that Naenia has openly admitted to being unable to take his True Name the way she wishes due to his power. Combat: Noé prefers to fight hand-to-hand, with a strong tendency to deliver powerful kicks.[8] Though he prefers close quarters combat and being able to move with his hands freed, he is resourceful when need be and skilled at finding makeshift weapons of whatever is at hand for him. He is also very perceptive and keen, able to detect, analyze, and comprehend his enemies' movements and fighting styles in seconds even while in the midst of a deadly battle.[9] He was taught how to fight by his Teacher, who drilled him until he could produce as much strength as he does now. World Formula Interference: Though he was also trained to rewrite the World Formula by his Teacher, he has no aptitude for it. He can do the bare minimum of reinforcing his body during fights, but anything extending outwards he has great trouble with. With great concentration he can rewrite gravity and stand on the wall or ceiling, but only momentarily[6] and even that much causes him nausea. Memory Reading: As a survivor of the Archiviste Clan, Noé has the ability to read others' memories by drinking their blood. Using this ability, he can dive through a person's memories and view them in the shoes of the person in question. If he concentrates, Noé is able to dive deep into someone's consciousness, pick individually which memories to to see, and view memories that even the person themselves have forgotten. However if his mind has been addled with drugs or he is in great psychological distress, Noé's reading of memories is far less concentrated. Without his control, the memories he views will encompass a vast stretch of time, usually spanning the person's entire life, with some scenes playing out, others being skipped over or muddled, and sometimes even playing out of order. As a child, Noé was far less capable and could only glean the person's vague emotions regarding their memories. autre : Gender Male Fantasy Race Vampire Age 19 (Born 1870) Birthday septembre 28th (Libra) Height 187 cm (6'2")
