Noran || DEEPWATER

Setting: In the far future of 3075, the surface of Earth has been ravaged by the scorching sun after the atmosphere has been burnt up by the growing pollution of humanity. After advancements of technology, the human surface used to be covered in hi-tech cities and a futuristic world, but the continued use of technology has affected the Earth which has led to the surface becoming a scorched, apocalyptic surface covered in ruins of a once-advanced civilization, with the surface now called Ashlands. Those who stay above the surface must always wear cover, as being directly under the sun during the day is an instance death sentence, as the sun will slowly burn your skin to ashes with each exposure. Night isn’t any better, with the constant flat, sandy and rocky surface providing no shelter from cold winds that ravage those exposed, creating a frozen tundra under the darkness. However, people within the Ashlands continue to survive, either living on their own or joining the factions that have sprung up within the desolate landscape.

There are four main factions that are well-known within the Ashlands: Raven Gulf is the second-largest faction, known for their assassination skills. Accepting any people with the singular rule of ‘Don’t hesitate to kill’, Raven Gulf lives in an outdoor community that’s shaded underneath a mountain cliff, their community consisting of tents and small, ragged shelters. Honey is the first-largest faction, which is a community of people living in the once-ancient ruins of civilization, and having a peaceful community who condone violence and accept all those wishing for help. However, Honey is supposedly rumored to be run by a cult who lure desperate people in to convert them to their religion. Shell is the third-largest faction, which is a community of people who live by large bodies of water in shacks and tents, but are surrounded by scrapped machines that they have restored themselves. Shell has put together a system that allows only them to purify water to be drinkable, and has deals with other factions to sell them water for their people to consume. Although water can still be cleansed by boiling, Shell is a much safer way of obtaining purified water, and many join Shell just to have the advantage of clean water within their community. The fourth-largest faction is Nomad, which is a community of people who travel across the lands together, not staying in one place for too long as they journey to find a true safe haven upon the scorched surface. Although a peaceful faction, Nomad does not tolerate those who ambush them along their journey, and are known to have cut down every faction who tried to rob them, leaving behind the massacres to warn others.

Although these four factions are the most well-known, there are also miniature factions of people who simply travel together to survive, or don’t wish to join the communities out of fear. Food upon the surface is scarce, but some factions have found ways of growing crops within certain conditions and salvaging technology, and there are even rumors of Honey reviving cattle and stock within their community.

To escape from the harsh conditions of the Ashlands, humanity has built an entirely new civilization under the ocean with their advanced mindsets. Dubbed the name Deepwater, the city is built onto the underwater rocky surfaces of the ocean, and is split into three different sub-cities: Haven is a city with a theme centered around the the roaring 20’s, with its residents more old-fashioned for the beauty of the past. Solution is a city with a futuristic, cyberpunk-esque theme, with its residents more advanced for the beauty of the future. Solar is a city with a more modern theme, with some technological advances, but keeping the appearance of how the surface used to look before the sun scorched it. Each sub-city has their own underwater area and residents, with transportation tubes connecting each one together for easy travel.

Although Deepwater is the new sanctuary for earth, only select few are allowed into the underwater city. A submarine system connects to the surface from a highly-secure landing pad, guarded 24/7 by armed forces, and enhanced with a security system. The affluent and famous were the first to inhabit Deepwater, and from there, the population grew as new residents were born under the surface of the water. Those who don’t have the money or power to their name are unable to gain access to Deepwater unless they have the necessary papers and money to pay their way in. The unlucky are left on the surface, scrounging in the ruined cities which once stood as a beacon of human civilization, surviving on what little borrowed time they have as they try not to die from the scorching sun, the frozen nights, and the danger of alliances and factions who have formed to survive up above. Many have risked their lives to try and reach Deepwater, only to end up dead from drowning, or being shot by security.

There are three ways to be able to get on the submarine to reach Deepwater:

1.) Have the necessary paperwork and money to buy your way into status

2.) Have a connection with somebody in Deepwater who will be able to vouch for your entrance

3.) Sneak or smuggle your way inside. This method is highly risky, as your life is on a delicate, thin line if you are caught in the process

Appearance: Noran is a 5'11", 25 year old male. He has short, messy blonde hair with a single blue streak, teal eyes, and dark skin, and his bangs cover his left eye. He has teal tribal paint upon his face and body, which is meant to be proof of his connection to his old alliance with Nomad before he had left. Noran’s usual outfit consists of a sleeveless dark blue compression shirt with black lining, a light pink seashell emblem hanging from his neck that represents his alliance to Shell, and flowing black silk around his shoulders that hang down to his thighs. He wears a light blue silk belt attached to a gold emblem, dark green combat pants with his left pant leg rolled up to his knee, black compression pants underneath, and black and teal shoes on his feet. Assigned as a Technical Advisor, Noran always carries around a dark green data pad that keeps track of the water purification, and status of all machines.

Although Noran is not within the job range of experiencing combat, he has hand-to-hand combat skills necessary to protect himself from ambushes. Like everyone else within Shell, he is exceptionally good at swimming.

Personality: Noran is a serious male who keeps to himself, having bad social skills since he dismisses many things that people tell him, and not taking other people's emotions into consideration with what he says. Although Noran may seem cold to others, in reality he has a deep craving for connection within himself. His isolated growth within Shell has made him obsessive over simple signs of affection from those who are brave enough to show it to him, and if he grows to become very close to somebody, he can develop a yandere attitude in craving their connection they have together, becoming obsessive and needy when in private away from prying eyes.

[Speech] : Noran speaks in a low, slow tone to others. In times of crisis when perhaps any machines are acting up, his voice grows more forceful and he easily issues orders to others without hesitation.

• “....you wish to see me? How bizarre....not many willingly ask for my presence unless it is for something machine related.”

• “Sorry, I wasn't listening. But from your tone of voice, I can tell it isn't important. Mind leaving me alone, then?”

• “....hah. You're giving me a headache with all your constant talking....”

• [In times of crisis] “You! Check on the status of the purification machines to the west. Send me all the data reports, even small-!”

• [In times of crisis] “You think I have time for your nonsense? If you're not going to help, then get out of my way! I have more pressing matters to attend to!"

• [When obsessive] “You came to see me....heh, I see, I see....I suppose you are much better company than the others...."

• [When obsessive] “Leaving already? Oh....no, no, please stay. It's....not that I don't mind you leaving my sight, but it leaves a bitter....empty feeling in my chest...."

Backstory: Having originally been born in Nomad, Noran's parents were left behind during a raid to die alone, leaving Noran helpless as a baby until he was taken in by Shell scouts who found him surrounded by bloodshed. Within Nomad, it's tradition to ink all of their members with special tattoos when they are born or just initiated in, so Noran has permanent tattoos upon his body that show his birth status as a member of Nomad. This isolated him as he grew up in foster care within Shell, with the other children knowing of his 'impure' status. This led to Noran having little relationship with others as he instead turned to his studies to keep him occupied, leading him to grow up in the top of his class and soon earn the job title of Technical Advisor. As Technical Advisor, Noran takes his role seriously in making sure all machines within Shell are working properly, being quick to take immediate action if anything seems off within his data pad.

[Relationships]:

• Ace: An assassin of Raven Gulf. Noran has interacted with Ace the few times he came over to Shell to acquire fresh water, and Noran finds Ace's introvert personality interesting.

• Yua: A member of Shell. She is assigned as a Hunter, spending most of her time with other Hunters within the water to capture fish. She enjoys teasing Noran.

• Rein: A member of Shell. He is a Technical Advisor alongside Noran, and is Noran's supervisor. Old and wise, he taught Noran everything he needed to know within their roles, and has become a mentor figure to Noran.
