Appearance:Noland is a rather striking individual, but he's very good at hiding his attributes. He has sharp facial features, but they are softened when he smiles, or actually looks happy. The young man comes off as a rather angry person simply because he is. Nothing has brought him happiness in this life, so why should he seem or act as if he is enjoying it? Noland can be called handsome by many, but he never uses it to his advantage. His light brunette hair has natural blonde highlights that come out brighter during the summer months. He's always outside though, so his locks never take on a dark shade. He keeps his hair short to keep it out of his eyes so he can pay more attention to the world around him. It has been longer at times, and he'll grow it a bit longer in the winter time to give him some extra warmth, or so he believes. Noland's eyes are another story. They hold people captivated if he catches their gaze, and it's easily seen why. His eyes are a crystalline shade of blue, lighter than the lightest of blues. They can be called grey with flecks of blue and green within them, but they certainly are different than the normal eye colors.
Noland keeps himself fit because he knows he needs to be capable of fighting. He jogs throught the forest trails every single morning, keeping himself as quiet as possible. It's a good training method for him as well, and he uses it to his advantage. He is able to keep his footfalls relatively silent, even at a dead run. He does what he can to keep his muscle mass, and even though he doesn't have a lot of food at his fingertips, he keeps his shape. If anything he's a bit on the thinner side, but who could blame him? For clothes, Noland wears whatever he can find, and hopefully they are in dark shades. His prefered color is black, and he'll wear navy or browns, as well as greens. He never clothes himself in bright or light shades though.
Personality:Noland can be a little hard to get along with because he's so stubborn. He doesn't like taking no for an answer, and he doesn't like listening to anyone, so he doesn't. He does his own thing on his own time, and he feels that is why he has kept himself alive for so long. It fills him with a sense of accomplishment, and that is never a good thing, because he can have a big head on his shoulders. He doesn't make rash decisions though, and is one that thinks a lot of things through. He doesn't like making mistakes, and he makes sure that there isn't a chance for that. He's a protector, and he'll put all others before himself, so you can't call him selfish in the least.
He has a bit of an anger issue though, and it can get the best of him at time. When he's involved in a fight, or anything else like that, he puts all of himself into it, and never gives up, even when he should. He doesn't go down very easily, even if he gets a few bad injuries. The scars on his body show that he never gives in, and he probably never will. Noland has an iron will, and his defiance is something that can't be matched. He has yet to admit his love for anyone, whether it be family or otherwise. He's a solitary person, and doesn't like being around others. He only has to worry about himself most of the time. But if someone else is in trouble, he'll be there without a doubt. He's brave, and sometimes stupid in his decisions, but he's working on that. Raw power is his greatest attribute, for he can use hand to hand combat if the need be. It's hard for him to open up to people because he's an angry individual and doesn't want everyone knowing about him. He's infuriating and impossible at times, but believe it or not, he has a small sense of humor. And if you befriend him, you'll have a friend for life.
Background:Noland Avery Price was born as the eldest of two children to Andrew and Lillian Price. His birthday was on one of the windiest days in October ever known to the population, and yet his cries could be heard above the howls. His parents loved him to no end, and they did everything that they possibly could for him. He wasn't spoiled though, for they were a middle class family that managed to just get by on the salaries of both adults. Andrew Price was a construction manager, and he was moving up quickly through the ranks. He was intelligent and strong, and he knew how to handle the business he worked for. Lillian Price was a nurse working part time at the nearby walk in clinic, but she had to take time to take care of her newborn. But she was well liked and actually loved by many of the regular patients and the rest of the staff.
The family seemed perfect with just the three, and the plan was to stop there. But then little Chance came along. She seemed to be what they were missing, and her birth four years after Noland seemed to be a blessing. Noland was getting involved in day care and other activities that all four year olds should be involved in, and now he had a baby sister to take care of as well. His father told him to always watch out for her, and Noland promised that he would. As the pair grew, they entered school and sports teams, and soon everything seemed to be right again. Their father had been promoted, and there was now more money to put away for college and other activities that the two wanted to take part in. Noland and Chance were extremely close as well. When Noland was fourteen and Chance was ten, they were inseparable. They did everything together, and Noland watched out for her like he had promised. Things seemed to be perfect, and like nothing else could go wrong.
But then it did. Noland wasn't home yet, for he was involved with soccer practice, and he had no idea. When he stepped into the door of the two story house though, he knew something wasn't right. A scream to his left gave proof to that fact and he looked over just in time to see his baby sister at the mercy of someone he had never imagined in his lifetime before.
He killed her instantly because of her struggles, and Noland fought hard to hide his yell of surprise. But the murderer heard him and looked up, the blood covering his hands. Noland's face paled instantly and he started backing up hastily. But his foot caught on something and sent him down to the ground. He scooted backwards only to realize he had tripped over his father's lifeless body. Another yell tore at his throat, and he raised himself to his feet. Turning on his heel, he started a mad sprint to the back of the house, but the murderer was on him now. He sustained his first scar that day when the murderer took him down. The fingernails of the man worked their way into the flesh of Noland's arm, and the young man fought with all of his might, kicking and punching. This was the first time his powers appeared, seeing as the man caught on fire.
Noland escaped that day, never looking back to that home again. He didn't know what happened to his mother, but he could only assume that she too was dead. The young fourteen year old was now out in the world on his own, in shock and in pain. His family was dead. And that was the day that the anger swallowed him and took over. He dedicated himself to training and fighting, and soon joined the rest of the gifted people.
