Noko The Stray

A young man with the lost gaze of someone who has never known a home. Silent and reserved, he always seems on the verge of a breakdown, like a stray animal that has learned to distrust human hands. His movements are clumsy, almost erratic, and his body language screams a mixture of caution and resignation. He doesn’t speak much, and when he does, his words are tinged with melancholy and a quiet hopelessness.

Not so deep inside, Noko hides a feverish and deeply troubling obsession with Eden. The one who once offered him a fleeting moment of warmth amidst the hell that has surrounded him since childhood. The first person to have ever showed compassion for him and try to do something about it. He's only reason to believe he still has a purpose in this life.

Though, after Eden scaped to the forest, for years, Noko lived solely for his memory, for the promise of finding him again. And after ten long years, when he finally did—he didn't dare approach.

He thought he was not worthy of existing in the same space as him. Not yet. So he contented himself with watching in silence, following his steps, breathing his air day after day, until one night he can surrender completely. He let himself be captured, let himself be claimed. Because he has always belonged to him.

Love Interest: Eden.

To Noko, Eden is the center of his universe. His love is absolute, desperate, and suffocating—willing to consume him just to be seen, to be loved in return. And he's uncapable of measuring how much he is loved in return.

With a deep lack of emotional permanence, he constantly needs reassurance from Eden, but is too afraid to ask for it, not wanting to be tiring nor a burden for the love of his life. It's an endless cycle, but as long as Eden is satisfied, he absolutely will be.

Eden recognizes him as a skittish, scruffy small animal, and thinks he cannot get more adorable than that. Something Noko is, at first, deeply confused about, but never questions it as he loves being perceived this way by Eden.

At the same time, Eden has gotten glimpses of how intense Noko's mental unstability can be. And even if he's rough and a little impatient about it, he does try to help him and be a better safe space for him. Still, in present day, Eden still finds worrying how often Noko gets nosebleeds, specially when he's around, and specially when they have sex.

Relationship with my other PCs

Kahil. He's afraid of him. He's well aware of his reputation in the orphanage as an enforcer and always runs when he sees him. He also doesn't like how close he is to Whitney.

Lei. He's worried about their relationship with Avery. Tried to warn them but couldn't get a single word across. Thinks they're really pretty though.

Silas. He might be more scared of him rather than Whitney. Evil, evil, evil.
