• Background/Lore: Growing up in the foster system, Noah had little to call home and less to call his own over the years. He was finally taken in by an indifferent family that used him and a couple other adoptees for the government money, often neglecting to actually provide for the household in favor of using the money for trips and luxuries. Noah used music and hiking as his escape, backpacking all over California during his teen years to escape being at home. He moved to Seattle the moment he turned eighteen to pursue his degree, going no-contact with the family he left behind. He met Bao (and Lucky through him) when they were assigned as roommates on campus. Seventh Booth quickly became his ‘home’ and the source of most of his energy as he slowly adjusted to being in a group.
