NOIR
Scarlet ⌖ Sharpshooter
FULL NAME: █████ ██ ██████.Nothing stays the same except for the war. War of human spirit, the human body, the human life. No matter how it is fought or what weapons are used, the reason behind wars and the intrinsic human nature of them will never change--whether at home or abroad. The sanctity of life put to the side as both sides destroy before one either wins against the other or both are too tired to continue.
Who they leave behind to deal with the aftermath are forgotten and alone without a second's care or thought.
The new war at home? The advent of the metahuman, but history and intrinsic study may lead experts to believe they have been around since the legends of old. Whether this be new or old phenomenon, it has put the spotlight on the lives of metas, and with this spotlight there comes a target on their backs. No communities, no acceptance, no cultural protection around them. Only the laws made by humanity and even that may get a few people only so far. Either hailed or, worse, condemned with little falling into the in-between or left simply alone, the broken, the beaten, and the damned have no one to turn to, and the human population unprepared to investigate metahuman incidents with the insight and understanding necessary.
That's where Noir comes in. No big agency backing him. No laws to hold him back. No hidden agenda. Just a hidden face and a pair of non-lethal sidearms to help get the job done, if it requires more physical persuasion. But at the end of the day investigating metahuman incidents and looking out for them, even as few and far as they may be.
However, he is not above taking other cases even if they happen to be more standard fare, although he does charge a certain standard fee to those who can afford it. Look him up. He hands out business cards. Noir Investigations, Private Detective and Consultant.
Operating in a warehouse near Pittsburgh, Noir has focused his sights on the city as news and rumors of metahumans have been spreading to a point where he has taken a suitable interest in the matter. His presence there is required to look into these cases with delicate care and precision.
And what perplexing cases they seem to be.

Wearing from top-to-bottom body armor to preserve himself against harm, Noir has added a little flair and technological expertise to his equipment. A few forensic tools, a hidden compartment or two for spare ammo or weapons, as well as a belt and pockets (both hidden and not) to put anyway any gear he may need for the short-term.But the crème de la crème of his tools is his weapons and his mask.
A pair of handguns that can be fitted to handle quite a number of situations by simply altering their mechanical components and the ammunition used inside. The ammunition, while non-lethal, is more of a chemical-variety than a physical metallic structure. Firing an rubber substance that can be made to either impact with great velocity and remain solid and completely non-elastic, become hyper-kinetic and elastic resulting in the projectiles bouncing off structures in an angular and projectile motion, or can become hyper-adhesive and explosive on impact, creating an effective dense glue cover objects or limbs.
The mask is capable of filtering through different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to track targets or observe hidden evidence, materials, or chemicals. A built-in communicator resides within the faceplate as well as a distinct HUD measuring vitals and few other points of data. The main feature of the mask is to track the trajectory and velocity required of the projectile to hit a target through unconventional means, most notably via ricochet. Most features can be accessed via voice-command or buttons hidden on the outside of the mask. Noir prefers the more manual approach to his gear.
While he is in development of a few other pieces of gear and equipment, this is his current arsenal.
A simple warehouse with a few workbenches and crates of materials and gear is all that Noir can call his own besides the spare bed, makeshift kitchen, and the working plumbing. A security system of cameras and motion detectors, both hidden and visible, hide around the house along with a few simple spare traps. A smaller yet fast and maneuverable car sits in his warehouse, and the vehicle remains discreet and avoids drawing attention through both its size and simple coloration. A few modifications were made to ensure it survived urban warfare such implementing as bulletproof glass, a better suspension and frame, and a few new locks to make sure people stay out of his equipment he may store away in the trunk, along with a GPS dot and one or two hidden cameras and motion detectors in case such equipment or the car is stolen regardless of the measures put in place.
