Character Profile
Name: Noa Kaiba
Alias: Noa Utatane
Appearance: His body was more or less built from a stolen animatronic- though his skin looks more or less real, it's obviously synthetic. His eyes as well are, obviously fake, and depending on the light will reveal themselves to be glass.
Noa's hair is green- he specifically requested that Haga dye it before sticking him in the body. Otherise, he appears to be a normal 14 year old boy with a thing for headphones (Though those are his ears)...
Aside from the USB jack that hangs like a tail- this is fairly easy to hide however, and tends to either be passed off as an accessory, or stowed down a pant leg.
More a verbal note than an immediately apparent one, but due to the system of his body's 'voice', he's stuck with a verbal tic- every so often, he spits out the word 'piko'.
Personality: Fairly smug, though suddenly losing access to the Kaiba name has done wonders for his humility. Can seem a little naive actually; this is largely because he's been trapped so long in a world completely under his control that the real one (despite not holding a real body) is largely a complete unknown to him.
Large differences in personality are the above for the most part- however, Noa is considerably more sane than he is in Canon now that he has a body and proper 'allies' (he's yet to get around to considering the likes of Haga as a friend).
As he's used to knowing everything that goes on, Noa is easily surprised by... Well, just about anything that can be surprising. If he doesn't hear it (difficult) or see it (not quite as difficult), then it's liable to make him jump.
Concerning VR... It never happened. Noa takes his fate into his own hands rather than focus on vengeance, largely because while Noa's existence draws from the Anime, his history is based on manga canon- this means he would have had access to information on Seto Kaiba's manga penalty game, which left Kaiba in a vegetative state that doctors were convinced would last the entirety of his life.
With that in mind, Noa felt his vengeance wouldn't be fulfilled in the expected way, and decided to just focus on getting back to life /another/ way...
And that way just happened to be shipping himself through the web until he found some poor sap that would be willing to build his body. (Or as the case was, steal an animatronic and alter it enough for Noa's needs.)
AUNotes: This version of Noa comes from a 'Genderswap AU' that randomly picked various characters and changed genders around- semi-key ones being Shizuka and Ryuzaki. Rather than subject Noa to this however, his backstory in the 'AU' line takes a stranger role. A number of years following his upload to the computer system, his connections to the Kaiba Mansion's computer network allow him to witness the after effects of a penalty game Yami Yugi inflicted upon Seto Kaiba. This penalty game, as long lasting as it was, gave Noa the belief that he would no longer be able to attain a childish vengeance as he once hoped.
This realization left him in a synthesized form of despair... At least until he came across a new idea. If he could connect himself to a robot, something that at the very least resembled human, he could bring himself back to life rather than wait for a human body. With that in mind, he reached out through his connections until he found someone who could...
Surprisingly enough, it was a boy named Katsugi 'Insector' Haga... Who agreed only after numerous shows of flattery. Nonetheless, despite the initial theft involved to get a 'start' on the project, Haga succeeded; as a result, Noa again walks the world...
Though he's learned the hard way that you can't start off from where you were before when you come back from the dead.
This version of Noa would have existed as an android from before Battle City started, but not too long before- he would have been working with Haga on his body since just a few months before Duelist Kingdom. I'll be taking him from a point following Doma however; as an important note, due to events in the RP line he came from, he'll likely mention someone named Kimi. That would be fem!Ryuuzaki. (Kira, another mentionable character, is an OC- she probably won't come up as a subject though, since she was pretty much a subject of fear for everything in that line.)
Trivia: Noa's android design is partially inspired by the vocaloids Len Kagamine and Piko Utatane; the latter is where he receives his verbal tic and last name from.
