Noir

Noir is the captain of the royal guard in Ebonclan, and is Emperor's Shadowling counterpart. He is the main antagonist of Nightroad.

He misses his grandfather, King Ikuto.

Appearance
Noir is a tall Shadowling, with 3-4 of his tentacles being swept to the right side of his face, and another being by the back of his neck. His eyes are red and have often been shown with slits as pupils, and he also has "eyelashes" similar to Emperor. His teeth normally look like a normal Inkling's beak, though they have been shown to switch to a more jagged, shark-tooth appearance as well (KySketch stating that Noir can change his teeth shape with magic).

He is often seen with a cape around his neck, jagged dark purple shoulder guards, and a silver metallic chestplate, even if he wears something else underneath. His default appearance has him wearing a black suit underneath with red gloves on his hands and a silver belt around his waist. He wears black pants that aren't loose around his legs, and metallic boots on his feet.

Personality
Noir often has the right idea, but the wrong execution. He is a chaotic Shadowling, though there are times when he behaves. He usually prefers to be the one in power, and though he does not wish to abuse power, he might wind up doing so anyway because of what he believes is right.

Although he may seem evil, he cares for his family and friends. Once he is redeemed, he still maintains his chaotic personality, but shows it in forms of trickery and messing with others.

In the short story "NightGals", it is revealed that he cares about his appearance and what others see him as. However, he still won't hesitate to wear things like dresses.

In Nightshatter, it is revealed he has a more vulnerable side that he really only shows to those he trusts.

Powers
Other than his usual Shadowling powers, Noir exceeds in agility and physical fighting. However, he uses dark magic to travel, since he cannot run thanks to Jet having punched his chest in the past. He is also good with manipulation and tauntings, as his most notable power is his telepathy and his ability to guard against others' mind control.

Noir has a higher power level than the others solely because power resides in Ebonclan's royal bloodline. His shadow form, like Ebony's, is that of a dragon, though it also slightly resembles a Sea Monster in its own way. It is labeled as a "serpent", but it is closer to a dragon than anything else. He may be strong, but he is actually weaker than his brother Ebony in terms of power.

He can shift into a larger form (Omnoir) after draining power from someone else via shadow fusion, though this larger form makes him slower.

Role
wip

In Nightroad, he is the main antagonist. He insists on taking over Inkopolis Square despite Ebony's pleas, and attacks the place during a party.

In Nightshatter, he is one of the main subjects of the story since the antagonist is his ex-girlfriend Luna.
