Overview

Appearance

Noanth is a tall young woman in her early twenties, about 5'8", with pale skin, messy brown hair, and a look of utter terror. Her haircut is a loose bob, -mostly- straight, but not really. Eyes hide behind thick black-rimmed oval glasses, usually reflecting the light of a computer screen. She could almost be pretty if she took care of herself, but with no makeup, messy hair, the extra fifty pounds, and an absolute lack of fashion sense, she's just another nerd. Despite her height, she's not particularly athletic or well-endowed, and seems all too aware of it.

The woman's usual outfit is baggy clothes, a t-shirt with some nerdy slogan or logo on it, jeans or a skirt, either way black, red canvas shoes, and if it's cold or damp out, a black raincoat that is clearly not a trenchcoat. Really. It's not.

Okay, maybe it is, but at least she doesn't have a katana.

Yet.

Background

Why do people always want to hear about what someone's life was like before they Awakened? Is it really that relevant? Fine. Born 12 July 1990. Adopted. Parents didn't like her, she didn't like parents. What she did like, however, was video games. And from there, computers. And from there, the internet. She finished high school young and since then has pretty much lived entirely on the internet.

Fast-forward six or seven years, she woke up to find something...wrong. Her vision was completely rendered in CGI - Matrix code, polygons, early-00s uncanny valley CGI. The only things that were 'real' were her body, and the body of the woman waiting over her bed: Her Avatar, Nemissa. She had Awakened, and with an Avatar sidekick to boot! At Nemissa's urging, the newly-minted Virtual Adept known as Noanth has traveled to London for reasons.

Paradigm

The only thing more magic than, well, magic, is computers. With the right programs and the right bit of 'nudge' from an Awakened soul, anything is possible. Her focus is a suite of computer programs that can be installed on a laptop, cell phone, or tablet (she usually uses the latter) to channel her will into whatever effect she's after.
