Appearance: Noctis certainly isn't quite your average-looking person, though one wouldn't know it from his measurables. He stands a shade under six feet tall, maybe five feet ten inches or five-eleven and is built sturdily though not especially so. So yeah, nothing that outstanding there. He does have some crazy jet-black hair going on, though, as it's extremely bushy and frames both sides of his face in the front with long, cascading bangs, while in the back it looks like he stuck his head out a car window and it all decided to blow back and stand up all spiky-like. He also has blue eyes, though when he taps into the power of the crystal, they glaze over a reddish/crimsonish color.
Noctis is most often seen in an all-black outfit, consisting of a high-collared, short-sleeved trenchcoat; black pants that look sort of military-grade; and black boots, plus black gloves and some sort of storage packs at his waist that hold.....something. That's his combat gear. For more formal occasions, he wears a simple black suit without a tie.
Personality: Noctis, for one, is known to be quite a shy fellow. Not to say he's the type to hide away from everyone and not say anything (unless he's dealing with politics - then he likes to stay as out of things as possible), but he's certainly not going to make a show of himself. In order to overcome the shyness when talking to strangers (and women), Noctis just keeps himself calm, keeps himself cool - might not always say the most interesting thing or seem the most friendly, but at least he keeps himself from saying the complete wrong thing. For this reason, Noctis can come off as aloof in conversation to those that don't know him well or at all. Maybe a bit boring and uncreative, too, which is quite untrue. Of course, they don't have much more to judge him by than this. After all, his position as prince of a kingdom in a pretty rough position requires some amount of secrecy about himself.
However, Noctis is a much looser individual around his friends, specifically his 'gang' consisting of Ignis, Gladiolus, and Prompto. Not to say he's telling a joke every few seconds or giving one of them a noogie when in their presence, but he certainly is more open around them, if not completely chummy. After all, he knows they don't give a damn about the cool act anyway. He's just as protective of them as they are of him (since he thinks protection is a bit of overkill anyway - he prefers to think of them more as just a crew rather than guardians or whatever his father wants to call them). He doesn't care a thing about his supposed value or anything of the such - he prefers to just be one of the boys (one of the mature ones) and feels almost awkward about people going out of their way to keep him safe.
No doubt that Noctis can be fairly violent when he needs to, lashing out at opponents with no apparent remorse. It's not exactly known if the crystal has any effect on his state of mind when he taps into its power, but he certainly doesn't seem to be all that talkative when using his powers (could be any number of reasons). While he is a man who is naturally perceptive to the needs of others and is quite thoughtful, he balances this out with a calm aggression that he needs to survive and advance the Caelums. He doesn't appear to be blooming into a charismatic, ambitious leader; instead, Noctis looks to be the capable, rational, and knowledgeable type.
History: Growing up a prince is something of equal parts strain and luxury. And so it was for Noctis Lucis Caelum. Sheltered a bit from the world but also provided with everything he needed, Noctis' only friends growing up were two other children of his kingdom, Ignis and Gladiolus, and as such he grew as close to them as he did the maids and butlers tending to him. His father, on the other hand, was not seen quite as often. Regardless, through his training and the attention given to him by other sources, an originally reckless, overly quiet Noctis grew to more capably understand his link to the crystal and understand his responsibilities as a prince.
Since not much more than that can be said, fast forward to an adult Noctis and the supposed peace treaty between the nations that would ensure the crystal would remain protected and the Caelum family could continue their business as usual while restoring their strength. Noctis would be the one to attend the signing party in the king's place. During the course of his fraternizing, a light he would see in the sky would lead him to conversation with one of the party's patrons who would introduce herself as Stella. The two would part after exchanging bedtime stories about the Goddess Etro and the Kingdom of the Dead. Not long after, an attack from Niflheim, who utilized the signing as a way to sneak their troops in the Caelum city, would force Noctis and his two friends, now his guardians, to try and control the chaos that spread throughout the city. Several times, there were attack on Noctis' life, but none were successful. During the chaos, a blond foreigner by the name of Prompto chose to assist against the enemies of the kingdom. Noctis, grateful for his assistance, agreed to let him accompany them. It was not long before it was revealed that Prompto was a fugitive, but Noctis disregarded the issue, feeling Prompto had proven himself.
In the time since, the kingdom has regrouped, planning their counterstrike on Niflheim while keeping up a somewhat mild facade. Noctis himself has been dwelling quite a bit on the meeting at the party and trying to pinpoint the locations of several key Niflheim officers and warriors present in the attack.
[Don't know if this perfectly syncs up, but should be okay.]
Abilities:
- Weapon Summoning/Telekinesis: Noctis, through the power of the crystal, is able to summon nearly any bladed weapon his mind can imagine and control said weapon through telekinesis. This is usually performed in wielding multiple weapons to devastating effect. The exact range of Noctis' telekinesis is not quite known, but he seems to typically summon weapons and wield them in a relatively close proximity to his body. His powers are obviously quite useful for offensive purposes, but they can also be used defensively, allowing him to form a highly effective, constantly adapting shield of weaponry that allows him to protect himself from bullets and explosive force. Many times, he forms a shield through forming a bit of a cyclone around his body with the weapons he's summoned.
- Teleportation: Noctis has also shown the ability to teleport short distances (?) while utilizing the power of the crystal. The teleportation is very straightforward - he simply flashes out of one spot and appears in another. It's not known exactly how far he can teleport, but it seems to be limited to places he can see with his own eyes, and is an instant process.
- Tactical Mind: Noctis has been trained in the art of war from youth, and is highly knowledgeable with multiple modern combat tactics. As an extension, he is knowledgeable with multiple weapons and small-squad guerrilla tactics, making him quite a formidable strategist in a fight.
Summons: Aside from summoning his weapons, he seems not to have a true 'summon', though he can apparently defeat and control them

Weapon: Noctis can essentially wield any bladed weapon that exists, it seems, through his unique brand of weapon summoning and telepathy. Noctis does not necessarily have to be holding a weapon to use it, as he can suspend them in air around his person and utilize more than one at a time. His most often-used handheld weapon is a falchion with an engine at the hilt. The weapons he wields telekinetically serve just as well as shields as they do for offensive purposes. He is also occasionally seen using a gun, though they're outlawed in the kingdom.
Crushes: He wouldn't bring it up, but he finds Stella intriguing.
How did you find us? I heard the sweet sounds of Oprah playing nearby and could not stop myself from approaching.
