HISTORY
Noé was a lone child from a believed to be extinguished vampire clan known as the Archivistes. As a baby he was adopted by two elderly human parents, who raised and loved him as their own. As old age took them, he was eventually found as an orphan child and sold on the black market as an Archiviste survivor; he was subsequently purchased by his teacher, an elder vampire from the esteemed De Sade family, and raised in their mansion deep in the forest, away from bustling society. Befriending his teacher's two grandchildren - Dominique and Louis - as well as the nearby village children, he lived happily learning under his teacher's supervision.
However, during his time there he was involved in an incident where it came to light that his dear Louis was a curse-bearer - a vampire burdened by a curse-like illness that causes one to lose their mind and be unable to control their thirst, attacking anything near them. The solution - or 'punishment' - for curse-bearers is beheading, and Louis was beheaded in front of Noé's eyes mere moments before his friend would have taken Noé's life. The incident left Noé deeply traumatized, and to this day he holds strong emotions about curse-bearers and his inability to do anything for Louis upon that day.
Now grown, Noé has left the vampire world to journey to the human world on instructions from his teacher: to find the rumoured Book of Vanitas, a mythical book said to be the source of curse-bearers in legends. Find the book if it truly exists, and assess its owner for himself... well, finding it was somehow no problem, but its owner is something else. Noé now travels with Vanitas, the owner of the book - a human claiming to be a 'vampire doctor' hell bent on curing vampires of the curse that ails them. As Noé has seen firsthand that the power of Vanitas and his book can truly save vampires from the curse, he joins him in dancing between the human and vampire worlds trying to cure those who bear the cursed malnomen - all while also trying to determine what it is exactly his teacher wished of him when he was asked to take this journey.

ABILITIES
✶ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʀɪᴍsᴏɴ ᴍᴏᴏɴ
Human in appearance, with greatly heightened senses, agility and physical capabilities; unlike well known myths surrounding vampires, those from Noé's home do not require blood to survive, nor will someone turn into a vampire from being bitten by one of his kind. Drinking blood allows him to access vital life energy, which can be used to gain strength or heal wounds. During wartimes, drinking blood was common - but now that times are more peaceful, it is considered an indulgence similar to drinking alcohol. Due to Noé's unique circumstances, though he enjoys blood very much he is reluctant to drink from anyone - even moreso without their explicit permission.
A vampire's eyes are most important when it comes to their abilities; while naturally red, if a vampire has control of their thirst they can change colour (Noé's, for example, are most often purple). Vampires are able to alter the 'world formula' through their eyes, enabling them to perform superhuman feats or even magic for the strongest of their kind. Noé is known to use this to strengthen his body, allowing him to become much faster or stronger than he could on his own. With effort, he can walk on walls or the ceiling. It should also be noted that since the source of their power comes from their eyes, should the eyes be damaged or compromised it will also prevent him from manipulating the world formula.
✶ ᴀʀᴄʜɪᴠɪsᴛᴇ's ᴍᴇᴍᴏʀʏ ʀᴇᴀᴅɪɴɢ
Noé's rare lineage allows him to see the memories of someone by drinking their blood. The first time he drinks a person's blood he will be forced to view their memories regardless; subsequent times, he can alter the depth and extent of what he sees. Noe will experience their memories and feelings for himself, which affects him a great deal emotionally - thus he doesn't like to use his power and refrains from drinking blood unless necessary, or from someone he trusts. He can only read memories by drinking directly from the person's veins - consuming blood in any other source may in some cases allow him to sense residual emotions or feelings, but otherwise will not trigger his ability.

TRIVIA
✶ He travels with a white fluffy cat named Murr, who's default emotion seems to be irritation and is not shy to scratch or lash out (even towards Noé). Murr selectively may allow you to hold him, though it's at your own risk.
✶ He adores sweets, and loves tarte tatin almost as much as he loves the taste of blood.
✶ An extremely rough sleeper, and can't sleep well unless hugging something. Approach with caution.
✶ Cannot keep any space clean to save his life, and is a terrible cook (even if he finds everything he cooks delicious).
✶ Despite that he is the ward of a noble family, and thus is granted a generous living allowance, he is quite the prudent saver when it comes to money. He's also known to pick up multiple part time jobs (part his curiosity wanting to get his hands in everything, part wanting extra money for a rainy day) and tends to be very popular at said jobs for his hard working nature and the earnest warmth he exudes to clientele.
