APPEARANCE
Appearance & reputation: a dark mystic shadow who always appears invisible. In some period of his life, he’s quite dreaded and even ‘hunted’ by other siderians, but later – when that conflict got solved – he just continues to be this silent, mystic black shadow.
Shoulder height: around 1,60 m, which is an average height for a siderian male.
Physical description
Body: Slender and rather fine with and pretty straight legs. Feet are average sized and pretty round with compact digits. Hindquarters are lighter than his more muscular forequarters. Narrow but rather deep chest.Tail is pretty short for a siderian with a typical upwards and sideward carried tip.
Head shape is roughly average, but his muzzle is relatively heavy. Straight profile with a little, subtle dip between his eyes. Pretty heavy chin. Very penetrating, slanting deep golden eyes. High ‘eyebrows’ (as in: this little circle with the eye vibrissae) . High placed and slightly sideward turned ears with a round tip.
Fur: Deep, black. So deep black that his fur absorbs almost all the light, he often looks like a shadow with two bright yellow-gold eyes. Fur structure is very special among siderians; semi-longhair but with a very soft, glossy and thick hair structure - but the hairs are still very ‘bendy’ .
Gait: Floating, light and silent. He prefers trotting over long distances and he has great stamina for a feline. Noiro typically walks and trots a bit ‘on the hindquarters. His galop is light, silent, floating and elegant. All his gaits are a little cheetah like.
Jewelry & accessories: nothing. He has been raised without anything and prefers to live with only his own body and spirit; not bound to anything. I don’t think that he even uses shelters.

PERSONALITY & CHARACTER
Personality and mannerisms:
Myers-Briggs personality type: most likely ISFP-A (the 'adventurer').
Solitary, silent and closed-minded and rather mysterious. He has an immensely strong will to live. Despite what he has gone through, he is always optimistic and positive. Even in the tense situations, he stays rather calm.
Noiro avoids social situations and likes being alone or with just those siderians with whom he has a strong bond (mostly his siblings). When he sees other siderians- or other animals in trouble, he has the strong drive to help them (which is rather uncommon for siderians and other felines to do). However, even then, he prefers to stay hidden and tries to provide more cryptic assistance.
He avoids any form of non-predatory violence and he deeply loves and respects the living world.
If he ends up in a conflict, he would rather run than fight. Even verbal fighting is something he backs off for. However, his conflict-avoidance behaviour is so extreme, that it has caused problems with his family and some may call him the ultimate coward.
He has a remarkable understanding of what someone may think and feel, which makes others feel rather comfortable in his presence. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, he speaks warmly. Despite his light bodybuild and silent behaviour, he has a certain natural leader appearance. Those in his close surroundings tend to see him as a source of inspiration.
Type of humor: he doesn’t have much humor and is quite serious. However, if he is more in a humoristic mood, it would be something more playful. 
Voice, manner of speaking
He doesn’t talk much but when he does, he speaks warm and friendly.
Quite a clear and bright voice with a certain sharp undertone.

- When your lips are still red https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kmiw4FYTg2U
- Dead to the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBl0cdyLPLk
Sexuality: hetero (demi) sexual. Later on, he becomes more or less asexual. 
Spirituality and philosophy: He has a strong connection to the living world(s) and the spirits of those who came before him and those who will come after him. He sees himself as just one with the energy of life. His philosophy is to always look for something positive and beautiful, no matter how dire a situation is. Just never give up and treat the world with kindness and respect- and that means also oneself. Live free and unbound to anything else than one’s own true nature.
Fears: Losing his will to live and losing his freedom.
Dreams: finding serenity              
Interest, hobbies, occupation: Wandering and living the ‘simple’ very basic way without anything. Just to connect to the very core of nature and life. He likes silently observing other living beings and the way they interact with their environment. He only lives with his own mind and body, without any accessories (like many siderians have) which makes him quite philosophical. He likes to get lost in his own thoughts.
Special skills: his incredibly strong will to live and his unstoppable positivity make him nearly sort of…’immortal’

STORY
Happy childhood
Noiro was the first born cub of the young couple Yves and Sasha. From a young age, he went on adventure with his dad and explored the surroundings of the metacluster Zilval Summits. Noiro got excited to learn more about ecals (crystals with ‘metaphysical’ energies) and was curious about everything. He also joined his mother and sometimes the hyena Sabi on little trips. Sabi was like an aunt for him and he liked her different way of playing. He had a good childhood without worries. It became even better when he got two siblings, a few years later. He was a few years older and was often targeted to play big prey – particularly by his younger sister Vivanna. When he approached an age of 8-9, he noticed that there was tension between his parents and Sabi. He had seen several hyenas and many seemed neutral or friendly to him. But his mother kept behaving rather hostile towards them. It confused Noiro and his parents were unwilling to explain what was going on. He noticed that his father was doing things that he didn’t tell his mother about.

Never the same again
Despite these tensions, Noiro had never expected anything bad to happen. Until, one day, when he was 10 years old. He was watching a pretty sunrise with his parents and siblings and suddenly, the matriarch of the local hyena clan appeared. In panic, she told them to leave immediately. Noiro was confused and asked his parents what was happening. But there was no time for explanations. They had to go. Now. After having travelled non-stop from sunrise to sunset, they had nearly reached a safe resting place. But suddenly, they were surrounded by unfamiliar, aggressive hyenas. Confused, he stayed close to his parents, hoping that they could talk it out, as they had always done. That didn’t happen. The hyenas attacked his parents from all sides. In a swirl of blood, claws and teeth, he suddenly found himself running with hyenas on his heels. One hyena held Nuca in his mouth and was running alongside them. But he got attacked by the other hyenas and let go of Nuca. As young as Noiro still was, he tried to pick them up and bring them to safety. It was then, that he realized that the hyenas were gone. Except for the wind, there was a dead silence around them. Noiro was the oldest of the cubs and felt the responsibility immediately. But he had no idea where they were and how to find their parents again.

Saved
Exhausted, they lied down under a tree and tried to keep each other warm. He was too tired and too afraid to search for their parents again and he curled himself around his siblings. When the wind whistled and the full moon shone on the sparkling snow, the black silhouette of a hyena appeared. Noiro was so exhausted that he was unable to move and stared at the stranger. She brought the news that their parents and Sabi were all dead. Noiro was too overwhelmed to react with anything else than trust and belief. The hyena (Sartra) indeed kept them safe and fed them. Not much later, another hyena (Farran) appeared. It was the one who had carried Nuca. He looked weakened and was full of battle wounds. He confirmed it again; their parents were dead, and if were they to survive, they had to hold on together. The two hyenas fed them and kept them away from other siderians and hyenas to avoid any conflict.

A familiar face
A few years later, two unfamiliar siderians found them; a nearly white sideress and a pale tabby male who reminded him of his mother. And indeed, he was his uncle and Noiro was incredibly relieved to meet another family member again. His uncle, Tsjaiko, told him many stories about Sasha and it was as if he brought her back to live again. The hyenas Sartra and Farran had left to lead their own lives, giving the siderians the chance to meet other siderians again. Tsjaiko and the sideress (Tuva) travelled with the cubs to the largest metacluster in the world: Mystery Mountain (located in Alaska). Noiro was in his teenage years when they arrived. But it wasn’t as they hoped. Here too, there was tension between the local arctian pride, a few northern hyenas, a group of rebellious siderians and the current cluster coordinators. However, Tsjaiko and Tuva kept the youngsters out of trouble.

Fiery love
In his early twenties, Noiro fell in love with a sideress nicknamed ‘Fury’ – (still don’t know her real name). Their relationship was rather intense. She was a passionate lover with a fiery personality. Noiro stayed mostly together with her and he had left his siblings and uncle. They got two sons; Rayo and Rayder. However, what Noiro didn’t know, was that Fury – and particularly her family – had close bonds with the rebellious siderians who were one source of conflict in the metacluster. She had never told him that and there was a growing tension between them. 

Exiled
Particularly their son Rayo, was getting very engaged in these fights as he grew up. Noiro found it difficult to deal with the situation as he naturally wanted to avoid any conflict and tension. He already felt an urge to leave but love and responsibility kept him at his mate’s side. However, when Fury’s father, Hadean, died in one of these conflicts, Fury lost it and burst out like a volcano – also towards Noiro. She took her sons along in the fights and Noiro felt so forced against his nature that he saw no other way than to leave. Fury was so angry with him that she promised to make him a target for the rebels. Noiro had no time to even see his siblings again and felt that all the rebels were on to him. All he could do was to flee. Later, he picked up rumours that he was seen as a dark, mysterious mastermind behind all the conflicts.

For years he stayed hidden, far away, roaming only the most remote mountain peaks where not even siderians used to venture. He tried to connect to intellithos (the siderian like internet, based on ecals) as much as he could to find news about his family. Once, he picked up something about the rebels’ plan to attack the cluster coordinators in a big open confrontation. The rebels were now led by his own son and Noiro could no longer ignore this fighting. Impulsively, without much of a plan, he went back. The love he still felt for his mate and sons was so persistent that he couldn’t bear the thought of them dying in this battle. He was willing to risk everything to end this fighting.

The battle
Before the first attack was launched, he showed himself openly, right between the rebels on one side and the cluster coordinators on the other side. Initially, Fury was furious and commanded the rebels to kill him. Noiro hardly fought back and repeatedly screamed that he was not here to fight. Something in Fury broke and as turbulent as her personality was…she suddenly fell back to the intense love that she had once felt for him. She couldn’t bear it to see her mate being torn apart without any resistance. She threw herself in the battle as well. All Noiro remembered was chaos, blood and more chaos.

When the battle was over and Noiro opened his eyes again, he found Fury’s dead body next to him. He was heartbroken. The silhouette of Rayo appeared before him. “Is this what you wanted?” Noiro stammered. Rayo only stared coldly at his father. “Now mother is dead because of you” he turned around and left with the remaining rebels. When Rayo was gone, Noiro’s younger son Rayder appeared silently and helped his wounded father to safety. He explained the situation, how Rayo had gone astray and how he was forced to follow his brother.

Back to his true family
After Noiro had recovered, Rayder left as well. He was still under his brother’s command and it was too risky to be seen with his father. Rayo was so mad that he could easily kill his brother too. However, Noiro was no longer persecuted the rebels and saw a chance to go back to his siblings, after so many years. They could hardly believe that he was still alive and from now on, he would stay with them.

A few years later, he heard that Rayo was murdered by some of the rebels but that his other son Rayder was unharmed. Rayder was now together with Nhera, Rayo’s abused ex-mate. It did Noiro good to see that his remaining son could finally pick up a normal life again and the worst conflicts in Mystery Mountain were over. Roughly at the same time, a big white male from the Fjordlands (Norway) appeared and his sister Vivanna had fallen in love with him. Noiro was worried; he remembered very well how bold and nearly reckless Vivanna was as cub and now this tendency seemed to have come back. He had heard of the Fjordlander’s reputation of murder and violence he warned Vivanna; he could be abusive and only wanting sex. Vivanna continued to prove her brother wrong and one day, she brought her new love along. Noiro was surprised by this white giant’s neat politeness and his seemingly genuine love for Vivanna. It made him feel a lot more relieved and he trusted that this would go well.

Not long after, Vivanna left with her new mate to the Fjordlands. Noiro stayed in MM with Nuca for a few more years before he also decided to travel back to their native lands. However, there was no going back; his birth-ground was invaded by humans and was not safe. Noiro and Nuca joined Tjaiko and Tuva on the way to Notochord (the biggest Eurasian metacluster in the Urals), where they could meet their grandfather Nigras for the first time. Notochord was no longer coordinated by Nigras, but by his son Ferrus, who had become quite aggressive towards any potential competitors. Seeing this, made Noiro even more worried about Vivanna who was now involved in her mate’s human-fighting Fjordland Force.

Back home
A few years later, siderian fighting forces claimed Zilval Summits back and chased the humans off. Now Noiro and Nuca could finally return to their birth-ground and establish a permanent territory there. After all Noiro and Nuca had gone through, this is where they wanted to find their peace and freedom; the high summits of the Roaring Mountains (the Alps). Both Nuca and Noiro prefered living rather solitary but they shared a territory and occasionally searched each other’s contact again. Finally, Noiro could experience his freedom and in the place that he called home, for the many years to come.

When he was getting older and approached an age of 100 (which is like 70 for humans), there came an unexpected visitor. It was Vivanna with her little granddaughter Rose. After so, so many years, he finally saw his sister again. They exchanged many stories about their lives; both happy and sad ones. After Vivanna headed to her own homelands again, Noiro realized once again that life is still so beautiful. In the 20-30 years the that followed, he and Nuca continued to roam the summits until old age eventually brought him back into the Circle of Life.
