powers?

Apparition Awareness: Noel possesses a heightened sense of awareness when it comes to ghosts and other paranormal entities, allowing him to sense their presence and interact with them.

Resurrection; With this power, Noel has the ability to come back to life after dying. He can return to life with all of his memories intact. However, this power can be draining on his energy and can also have consequences on their physical and mental health, because even if their wounds disappear, they're still able to feel the pain after they come back.

Power origins

when he was 17, Noel went to an amusement park with his friends, Ocean and Penny, excited to ride the newest and most popular rollercoaster called "The Cyclone." As they waited in line, Noel noticed a strange tent that d a "fortune-telling" machine. The machine was old and rundown, but the strange eeriness about it drew Noel's attention. He inserted a coin in a small slot and the machine whirred to life. The robotic movements, creaking sounds and pre-recorded voice made noel regret putting a coin in the machine, apparently, their lucky number was seven. But then, after the machine had shut down and waited for another penny to be inserted, it came back to life and offered him a deal. The voice belonged to Azazel, supposedly, he was a demon who promised to grant Noel the power to come back from the dead in exchange for his soul. Noel, not believing in the supernatural, scoffed at the offer and brushed it off as a carnival trick, probably a pair of guys using a walkie-talkie from afar.

As he and his friends boarded The Cyclone, Noel couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, but with a fast drop, and a few loops, he had completely forgotten about the eery machine. Suddenly, the coaster derailed, sending everyone on board plummeting to their deaths. In the chaos and confusion, Noel found himself back in front of the fortune-telling machine, his body broken and lifeless, as if they had gone back in time. But as he lay there, he heard the machine's voice calling out to him once again, offering him the power to come back from the dead. Desperate to cling to life, Noel accepted the deal without fully understanding the consequences.

He opened his eyes, and they weren't laying on the floor anymore. a nice hospital room, a few casts on their fingers and an excruciating pain on their back made him realize that he had gained an incredible power, but at a terrible cost. Every time he died and came back, people's memories of him became blurry. He also experiences excruciating pain from the injuries that led to his death, even after coming back to life.

In addition, Noel is haunted by the ghosts of his friends who died on The Cyclone. They appear to him often, begging for his help or simply tormenting him with their presence. Noel struggles to cope with the guilt of surviving while his friends perished, and he constantly feels like he is losing his grip on reality. But there are moments where he can get along with ocean and penny's ghosts just fine, like if they were just friends and nothing had happened.

childhood [0-12]

Noel's childhood was marked by his parents' intense ion for the arts. His mother, a poet, filled their small apartment with books and scribbled notes, while his father, a musician, spent hours playing the piano and composing songs. The walls were adorned with abstract paintings and posters from local theater productions, and there was always some kind of performance or exhibition to attend.

Despite their financial struggles, Noel's parents made sure to expose him to the richness of the creative world, taking him to museums, concerts, and poetry readings. They encouraged him to express himself through writing and music, and he grew up with a deep appreciation for the power of words and melody.

Unfortunately, Noel's parents ed away when he was still young, leaving him to be raised by his mother's sister. While his aunt was loving and ive, she lacked the artistic flair and free-spiritedness of his parents. As a result, Noel often felt like something was missing from his life, and he turned to writing and music as a way to connect with his parents' memory and express his emotions.

teenhood [13-17]

Noel's teenage years were filled with self-discovery and ion for music. Despite attending a Catholic school with conservative values, he found solace in the school's chorus, where he could express himself through song.

It was during this time that Noel began to realize he was gay, and he struggled to come to with his sexuality. His aunt, who he lived with after his parents' ing, was not accepting of his orientation and frequently made homophobic comments.

adulthood [18-Now]

After gaining his powers from the demon Azazel, Noel's life took a drastic turn. At first, he was exhilarated by his newfound ability to come back from the dead, but as time went on, he began to feel more and more detached from his own humanity.

No longer able to fully experience emotions and sensations, Noel struggled to connect with others and found himself feeling isolated and alone. The only people he could truly confide in were the ghosts of his deceased friends, who haunted him in the aftermath of the Cyclone tragedy.

Despite the challenges, Noel tried to live a normal life as much as possible, attending school and pursuing his interests in music and the arts. He used his powers sparingly, knowing that each time he died, he risked losing even more of his humanity.

Over time, Noel's experiences with death and the supernatural led him to develop a keen interest in the paranormal. He began researching ghosts, demons, and other supernatural phenomena, hoping to understand his own abilities and the world around him.
