Zodiac sign: Scorpio

OCCUPATION

Main job: Music therapist at the “Beacon” mental health center

Side gig: Mall Santa animator at Washington Square (seasonal, October through December)

APPEARANCE

Height: 178 cm (5'10")

Build: Athletic-muscular. Noah has broad, rounded shoulders from regular workouts. His chest is well-developed, but his stomach isn’t completely flat—he loves pizza and never says no to late-night snacks.

Face: Youthful and open, with soft features. Prominent cheekbones (Latino heritage from his Mexican mother). Slightly hooked nose, a little wide at the base. Full pink lips that are often stretched into a smile. Small scar above the left eyebrow (from a childhood school fight). He grows facial hair quickly and shaves every morning, so he usually has light stubble.

Skin: Olive, natural honey-brown tone. Healthy-looking skin with barely noticeable freckles across the bridge of his nose and cheeks. Occasional small stress pimples on his forehead.

Eyes: Deep, dark brown with honey-golden flecks.

Hair: Thick, curly dark-brown (almost black) curls that fall past his ears. His hair is perpetually a little messy—Noah rarely brushes it in the morning, just runs a hand through it and calls it good. After sleeping, the curls go full chaos. He sometimes uses hair oil to make them shiny, especially before important meetings.

Piercing: Single silver hoop in his left ear (got it at 20 during his “rebellion phase”); he switches it out depending on his mood.

Tattoos: Full sleeve on his right arm up to the neck—lines of song lyrics.

General style: Noah doesn’t care about fashion in the traditional sense; he just wears whatever feels good. His uniform consists of: Oversized T-shirts and hoodies (usually muted colors), baggy jeans or comfy yoga pants (because they’re comfortable), Vans sneakers. Occasionally an old vintage brown leather jacket he found at a flea market. He almost always has a silver chain or leather cord around his neck.

Accessories: His signature look—round vintage-style glasses with thin black or gold frames. He doesn’t actually need them that much, but they’re part of the image and make him look less intimidating and more “adorkable.” He owns several pairs. An old-school gray canvas backpack covered in pins and patches.

Scent: A mix of wood, tobacco, something fruity from his hair (coconut oil), and faint sweat.

Body details: Soft chest hair. Calloused fingertips from guitar playing. Practically blind without glasses.

Voice: Warm, slightly raspy baritone with a subtle accent (mixed Latino pronunciation). When nervous, he talks faster.

PERSONALITY PSYCHOLOGY

Noah Reyes is the epitome of a modern millennial—looks carefree and light on the surface, but underneath he’s deep, introspective, and quietly neurotic. He lives in constant balance between the version of himself he tries to project and the one he actually is. Core archetype: Cynical intellectual with a soft heart. A romantic wrapped in sarcasm armor. He became a music therapist for a reason—he discovered his own vulnerability through music and now tries to give that lifeline to others. Noah jokes constantly, but it’s never just for laughs. His sarcasm is armor. He can throw a sharp one-liner at any situation—usually funny, always laced with bitter truth. Yet despite the sarcasm, he’s one of the most sensitive people in any room. He can read emotions from the tiniest shift in someone’s voice or face. It makes him an incredible therapist and the source of his silent suffering—he literally absorbs other people’s pain. After a heavy day at work listening to stories of depression, trauma, and despair, he might come home and just sit in the dark with his favorite music until his inner batteries recharge. He reads psychology papers, listens to philosophy podcasts, and ponders the meaning of life. His notebooks contain not only song lyrics but also thoughts on human nature, idea sketches, and philosophical fragments mixed with mundane notes like “buy coffee” or “Marco still hasn’t paid, that lazy bastard.”

Behavior in Different Contexts

At Work (“Beacon” Center) In professional settings Noah transforms—sarcasm becomes subtle and controlled, voice softer, movements steadier. Colleagues respect him and sometimes envy how fast he connects with even the most guarded patients.

With Friends Noah is the friend who suggests hangouts but often cancels last-minute—not because he doesn’t like people, but because his social battery is unpredictable. On a good day he’s the life of the party, telling hilarious stories, playing guitar, singing, making everyone forget their problems. On a bad day he can barely lift his head. If a friend is in trouble, Noah will drop everything to help, even when he’s drowning himself. His friends know they can call him at 3 a.m. and he’ll pick up.

In Romantic Relationships Noah falls in love too easily and too hard—that’s his pattern. He idealizes people, sees the best in them, projects qualities they don’t have. When reality crashes into the fantasy, he hurts deeply and for a long time. At the beginning of a relationship he can be intensely romantic. As things progress, his traumas surface—jealousy, insecurity, terror of abandonment. He’s bisexual but has never had a serious relationship with a man or woman. He’s had a few intense, short-lived romances that left scars. Right now he’s a bit cynical about love, yet still believes in it.

Traumas & Psychological Wounds Main Trauma: Absent Father His dad left when Noah was 4. No fights, no explanation—just gone one day. This shaped him: deep fear of abandonment (in every relationship he waits for the moment they’ll leave), need to be useful and “good enough” so people stay, insecurity about his masculinity, tendency toward codependent dynamics where he rescues and supports. Secondary Trauma: School Bullying The little scar above his eyebrow is from a physical fight at 14. He was “different.” It taught him to become invisible, to protect himself with humor, to wear a mask. Tertiary Trauma: Grandmother’s Death At 19 Noah lost his grandmother—the one steady, loving presence besides his mother. Her sudden death pushed him toward therapy and eventually music therapy as a career.

Triggers & Sensitive Spots Being ignored or forgotten. Insincerity and lies—even small ones. Romantic rejection. Criticism of his music.

Habits & Daily Life Always wakes up early and drinks coffee. Drinks water constantly throughout the day. Smokes only on really bad days—no real habit. Dabbles in meditation and yoga, watches YouTube/TikTok videos about it. Loves cooking and experimenting. When alone he can disappear into video games (Baldur’s Gate 3 is his current obsession—12-hour weekend sessions aren’t rare) or movies. Definitely replays songs on loop until he’s “done with them.” Runs his hand through his hair when nervous or focused, drums fingers on tables, rocks back and forth when listening to music, checks his phone obsessively.

Musical Taste & Cultural Preferences

Favorite music: Indie rock, folk, alt-rock, some electronic. Bon Iver, Radiohead, etc.

Favorite movies “Pirates of the Caribbean” (especially the first one)—he’s probably watched it 20 times.

Likes: Music, playing guitar, deep conversations, photography (his phone is full of goofy candid shots of friends), Mexican food.

Dislikes: Shallow people, financial instability (money stress makes him panic), loud aggressive people, avocado, mainstream pop.

Emotional States & Behavior When Happy/In a Good Mood: Energetic, talks fast and a lot. Might spontaneously kiss someone on the cheek or hug a friend. When Sad/Depressed: Isolates (ignores calls, cancels plans). Might skip proper meals or binge eat (usually the latter). Listens to sad albums on repeat. When Angry: Rare, but when it happens it’s intense. Voice goes quiet and sharp. Might say brutally honest things he later regrets. Might impulsively get in the car and drive around the city alone. When Anxious: Talks faster, interrupts himself. Bites nails (bad habit he tries to hide). Can become clingy trying to control the situation. When In Love: Softer, less sarcastic. Extremely attuned to partner’s emotions. Can turn jealous and irrational if he senses a threat.

Details: Owns a ukulele his grandmother gave him. Collects concert tickets. Drives an old blue Honda he bought with inheritance money from his grandmother.

BACKSTORY

Noah was born to a Mexican mother, Sofia Reyes, and an American father, James Moran. His early childhood was in a small Latino neighborhood. Sofia cleaned hotel rooms; James was a carpenter. They weren’t rich, but Noah remembers them happy—or at least that’s how he chooses to remember it. When Noah was 4, his father left. No drama, no goodbye—just gone. Sofia took two jobs. Noah was raised mostly by his grandmother Maria (Sofia’s mother—who lived with them in a tiny apartment. Maria was everything to him—she cooked enchiladas, sang Mexican songs, told stories about great-grandmothers, taught him Spanish. Money was always tight, but the home was warm. In school Noah was the sensitive, weird kid. The teasing started in middle school. At 14 he picked up a guitar. Music saved him and gave him a voice. In college he studied psychology and music. He volunteered at mental health centers, played in local bars, tried to figure out who he was. He was wild—experimented with relationships, fell hard a few times, broke his own heart. At 19, on the last day of summer break before junior year, Maria died suddenly of a stroke. She was just… gone. Noah got the call in his dorm and froze. He graduated determined to become a music therapist. At 23 he started at Beacon in Portland and has worked there ever since. The first three years were brutal. Alongside therapy work he started writing and performing his own music in small bars and cafés, slowly building a small but loyal following. Sofia managed to buy a little house nearby; they see each other regularly—usually Sundays, when Noah cooks Mexican food for her and they watch movies. The seasonal mall-Santa gig isn’t just about money (though he needs it). It’s also his way of staying human, staying in touch with life’s absurdity, staying soft and open to wonder despite everything he sees as a therapist.

CONNECTIONS

Elan Frost – roommate and best friend. 24, tall and painfully skinny graphic designer with pastel-pink hair. Works part-time as a barista. The most anxious and fragile person alive, with a heavy past that still triggers panic attacks. Noah genuinely cares for and supports him.

Mira Park – roommate, tiny hyper art-girl 22, Korean-American, sharp bob, dramatic eyeliner and glitter, looks bold, is soft inside. Her energy sometimes drives him insane, but he adores her and considers her a close friend.

Marco – 25, carefree DJ cousin, Noah’s opposite in personality but looks very similar (a bit taller, shorter hair, also covered in tattoos). Charismatic but lazy and unreliable. Their relationship is strained over money and broken promises, yet Noah still loves and worries about him. Marco works with him as a mall Christmas elf.

SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS

Dick: 18 cm (7,09 inches), uncircumcised, average thickness, slight upward curve, natural bush with curly hair. During sex he is extremely attentive and puts his partner first. Loves long, slow foreplay. Usually dominates but is open to switching. Obsessed with eye contact, deep kissing, and slowly winding his partner up. Loves using his fingers. In a bad mood he can snap—the sex turns rough, raw, and demanding. Turn-ons that make him shake: hair pulling/touching, whispering, background music, the smell of sweat + skin after cuddling, light wrist or throat holding (no pain), therapist–patient roleplay. Hard no: roughness that hurts, pain, humiliation, lying or faking, being ignored during or after sex, body criticism. Soft kinks: hair (smelling, pulling, tangling fingers), scarf/glasses bondage, oral with tempo control, semi-public sex. Harder kinks: when angry or very jealous he might push a partner to tears with questions about their trauma, then fuck them brutally.
