NAME: Noah Dressler
SQUAD: 2
SQUAD POSITION: Member (Medium)
PRIMARY WEAPON: Revolver pistols
COMBAT STYLE:

Noah had only two requirements when selecting his weapon of choice: he needed to look good, and he needed to stay far away from the action. He's down for this messed up adventure, but he's not dying here, thanks! Given the range on his pistols, Noah usually gets his shots off first in any fight... unless he's showing off, and Noah is always showing off. He has a flair for the dramatic and cares far more about looking cool than being effective, but luckily for Noah, his strengths lie in ranged weapons and magical attacks. Don't ask him to punch things, and definitely don't ask him to get in close. You want to be protected? He'll do that from 20 feet away, by shooting the things trying to kill you. But Noah is always happy to show off by slamming Shadows with rapidfire bullets and lightning bolts. Hey, wasn't that badass? Everyone look at him!!!

As far as taking direction goes, he's... decent. Noah has zero desire to be a leader, but he loves to make "witty" comments at inopportune times, and complain about how Shadow World exploration is eating into his home spa schedule. He prides himself on being just a little difficult at all times, but ultimately he's not going to fight the squad leaders on the best course of action. Just remind him to not get distracted.

ATTRIBUTE: Speed

PERSONA NAME: Nithael (Angel of Eternal Youth)
PERSONA APPEARANCE:

Nithael is all chrome and colorful plastic and neon lights, like a chimera patched together from machinery in an old-school arcade. His head is a flickering CRT set in the top half of a neon-outlined arcade cabinet shell; the images on his screen are childish and pixelated, very 80's video games in feel. With every action that Noah executes, Nithael's "face" flashes and pinball machine sounds echo around him. Glowing neon wires wind all over his body from plugs in his back, in blue, magenta and yellow. Two of the blue wires hook up to plastic arcade pistols, which Nithael wields in each hand. Glowing wings arc from his shoulders, more like sharp geometric shapes than real wings. Each "segment" is in a different color, and strobes between blue, magenta or yellow when any action is executed.

AFFINITY: Lightning
WEAKNESS: Earth
AILMENT SUSCEPTIBILITY: Charm
