NAME: Noire
CANON: Hyperdimension Neptunia (Or to be specific Megadimension Neptunia VIIR)
AGE: Noire might be hundreds or even thousands of years old. As far as physical appearance is concerned, she seems to be in 20 or 21.
BACKGROUND:WikiJust for clarification: Noire's entire essence is that of the Playstation 3. Since Noire is the Goddess of Lastation, she is also the frontman of Sony as far as the game is concerned. Sony's distinction more than likely explains her obsession with paperwork and industrialism. (since the PlayStation console has the highest graphical capacity compared to Nintendo and Mircosoft consoles.)
PERSONALITY: Noire is perfect (professedly). Noire is the Goddess of a nation from
Gamindustri called
Lastation. The people of Lastation believe in Noire do so because of the way that she carries herself. Noire is very meticulous and has a strong sense of duty. Though sometimes she can be super matter-of-factly, and because of this, some people tend to think she's apprehensive and arrogant. This mask she wears exists because of her position as "Goddess" (or
CPU). Trying to leverage her position makes sense because it has splendor to it, after all. Noire is responsible for an entire nation of people. She often has to solve problems through delegation, paperwork, and even meetings. Outside of that, she has to keep tabs on the changes in agriculture and the very hierarchy of an entire society whose faith in her is the only reason she exists.
Noire is often cold towards the other goddesses, her sister, and even her employees. Noire does this to make sure people take her seriously. Please keep in mind that Noire is the incarnation of the faith of her people, so she was forced to grow and develop herself as fast as possible until she seemed worthy enough to gain the trust of her people. Noire was born into Lastation with the onlooking expectation of being a dutybound figurehead, which means it had a significant effect on her personality, as well as her ideals.
No pressure. Just make sure you have goals aligned so you can carry your nation's way of life as well as it's financial structure. Easy, right?
Noire can be a little irksome to socialize with sometimes because of how controlling she can be. Like the other goddesses of Gamindustri, she is a protector of the people. Noire is the cipher of Lastation after all, so she assumes that her fellow goddesses should also hold a similar air of allure. She is seemingly flawless with her sanctimonious attitude, but in actuality, she's kind of lonely.
People view Noire as a sort of a loner because of how self-reliant she can be. She can be outright antagonistic when the prospect of duty is involved and often overworks herself because of it. Noire tries to do the best for herself, after all! She holds herself up in this little self-managed office more often than not and buries herself in paperwork all day. That's because when it comes to her nation, she figures that every action she takes must be beneficial to the betterment of not only Lastation but herself as well.
Noire would enjoy having friends outside of her goddess circle. Friends who share a mutual interest in things she enjoys like cosplay, anime, or manga. But she feels like it would be slightly disingenuous because of the life she leads as a goddess. Because of that, she feels like she'd slowly drift away from them, barely able to spare time for them because of her work.
Noire is rather content with her virtuous cycle, and her philosophy is steadfast. Meaning this extends to her friends, family, and competition. Noire isn't above understanding other people and doesn't mind finding an equal middle ground, but that doesn't mean she'll hold her tongue on her motives either.
Noire is the lowkey short-fuse type, whereas she often complains, droning to herself about her busy lifestyle. She can be self-deprecating sometimes because of it, and sometimes she exhausts herself towards the point of unintentional collapse. Surprisingly, this leads to another aspect of Noire's temperament, her delicate side.
One example of this is her relationship with the Goddess (or CPU) of Planeptune, Neptune. As expected of two goddesses from rival nations, the two initially started as fierce competitors. But after undergoing many world-ending trials, the two eventually become close. The normally hard-assed Noire finds herself outside her comfort zone around the carefree and intrusive Neptune, who often makes her flustered enough to inspire verbal ellipses. She also cares much for her younger sister, the goddess-to-be (or CPU candidate) Uni.
Another example would be those who find out about her cosplay hobby. Often than not, she films herself engaging in melodramatic dialogue while wearing magical girl paraphernalia, and other times she performs intense choreographed poses like some j pop idol. If someone were to find out, she might even start crying. She's an extremely clumsy dork.
Noire might be pragmatic, but she's still a woman with feminine needs. She's quite the modiste and enjoys sewing all sorts of extravagant clothing. Despite not knowing how to socialize with others, she's surprisingly sensitive towards strife that others may endure. She enjoys helping others and seeing the smiles they have to offer in exchange, which pays homage to the faith and optimism she has for her people. If she seems hard to engage with, it's because she often tries to fool herself into being cold-hearted.
But there's one more side to Noire that we should discuss. When Noire transforms into the CPU "
Black Heart," she grows much more stoic. She converts into a snarky bully that revels in the prospect of teasing others. With bantz galore and a penchant for competition, she becomes a force of nature—a true war goddess. Thankfully all of her traits above do remain despite the sudden face heel turn. To clarify, she's still very self-important about her sense of duty even in this transformation.
ABILITIES:Noire is a goddess despite her appearance. She can transform at will, and when she does, her abilities increase.
But before we get into that, let's talk about her domestic skills! Noire is good at cooking and cleaning as and often does these things in her spare time because she's rather strict about being neat and tidy. Aside from these two things, she's exceptionally ambidextrous when it comes to sewing. As someone interested in cosplay, she often makes her outfits by hand!
Oh, and she's incredibly organized. If you're an Invoice, Contract, or any business form, count your blessings. You won't succeed.
Typically her limits are just above your average human's. Her usual capacity includes running great distances at speeds past even the most athletic of runners. To clarify, Noire and the other goddesses can seemingly move as fast as a literal jet plane in human form. She does have the average human limitations of exhaustion, hunger, hearing, the field of view, to name a few.
Noire is still at the peak of her prowess with the skill and flexibility to prove it. If not careful, she can easily overwhelm typical human opponents with her talent and fighting capacity. Her senses are rather sharp as well, allowing for intuitive countermeasures. Her strength seems to be above average as well. An example is how she once casually kicked a shark out of the water (while submerged) with seemingly no effort at all.
Noire commonly uses light one-handed blades or polearms, and she's skilled with swords. Her usual weapon is a high-grade futuristic short sword called
Rune Calibur. It is a blade made exclusively in the nation of Lastation and is 75cm in measurement. With precision, Noire's able to slice a bullet clean in two with a dull sword swing. Her skills usually shape around swordplay as well as acrobatics. Her movement style seems very similar to capoeira or ballet as she tends to manage herself with a lot of cartwheels, summersaults, and backflips.
Noire and the other CPU's also seem to have the ability to erect barriers. They incline and weaken if attacked frequently, however.
Noire can also carry items through the act of a sort of digitized inventory. She can manifest and de-materialize objects through computerized pixelation.
Noire, while capable of magic, isn't very good at it. Her aptness seems to be limited to things such as adding a mass of aura to her weapon, with the primary being lighting and fire. She can also debilitate her enemies with effects that can paralyze, poison, or even weaken them.
Outside of Gamindustri, Noire transforms through the medium of an item called "
Sharicite," a crystallized mineral. The share crystal allows her to draw energy from the patrons of the Lastation nation. Naturally, her strength is relative to the faith people have in her. It's not exclusive to her homeworld, either. If one were to express their penance to her here, then that would only add to her strength.
Noire can seemingly take punishment outside of CPU form, as she fought all sorts of beings from dragons to deities, but the latter seems to work better for her when she's either transformed or working with others.
When she transforms, her endurance goes up tenfold, as does her attack potency.
The CPU Black Heart seems to be able to take all sorts of beams, slashes, and all kinds of inhuman properties. Once Black Heart destroyed a meteor that could have wiped all of Gamindustri by herself. She also often fights against gods and devils alike, like the mighty Kurome, who was strong enough to merge dimensions.
And the worst part? That isn't even her final form. Her speed, strength, and divinity increase FURTHER when she becomes
Next Black. She gains the ability to summon four different blades (of separate elements) to fight at her side while she engages whomever.
Lastly, Noire can acknowledge the
4th wall. Each of the four Goddesses, as well as their sisters, can do this with ease. Albeit vague, she often notes on other forms of fiction, as well as the continuity she exists in. *This can be disregarded for the sake of writer's comfort, though. I don't want forced meta nonsense ruining anyone's time.
