Name: Noah Royce Wilson.
Nicknames: There really is not any other why to shorten his name, so nicknames are in short supply for him (unless his best friend Cliff comes up with one for him).
Age/Birthday: Noah is 17. His birthday falls on January 3rd
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Health Issues: Noah is very allergic to pollen, so in the spring and summer he is pretty much miserable unless he takes his allergy medication.
Reason for enrolling: After his sister received a scholarship to Metric College, his family packed up their things to move along with her. His mother thought it would be a good idea for him to enroll into the special arts high school since he had talent of his own. Noah is a skilled dancer (mainly breakdancing) and was also rewarded a scholarship to attend the high school. Although he prefers to breakdance, he is not afraid to take classes in different forms of dance. He is also very skilled at ballroom dancing which he usually keeps a secret because he does not want to get picked on for it.
Job: He works part-time at The Game Store. His extensive knowledge of video games really makes it an ideal job for him. With his employee discount he ends up taking home a new game each week to test out with his best friend. When he is on the job he tends to do more talking than actually working because he could talk about video games for days. On the occasion a girl gamer comes in, he does his best to turn on the charm though his luck with the ladies isn’t the best.
Reputation: Noah really does not have any reputation to speak of. He wanders the halls of the school much like a ghost and goes by unnoticed by most people, although he has made multiple attempts to try and climb the social ladder. In class he is notorious for being the class clown and constantly cracks jokes no one really finds funny. He is a nobody with dreams of one day becoming a somebody. If people have heard of him it is most likely due to his association with his sister though no one believes they could possibly be related.
Friends:
Cliff Arkwright: Cliff is his best friend, plain and simple. He can tell him anything, and Cliff puts up with his stupid antics. They are always making bets with one another and overall goofing off. Ever since his best friend started going down the bad seed path things have been tense. He doesn't get to see Cliff as much as he used to and it makes him sad.
Pippa Scott: Noah met Pippa through Cliff and she soon became a part of their little group. He's tried to hit on her but not seriously since he values his relationship with Cliff. Once Cliff started to separate himself from them, Pippa and Noah grew closer.
Judah Parker: They met through a school project and Noah thought he was pretty cool. He is too busy chasing girls to really get too interested in whatever it is Peter does in his free-time.
Enemies/Rivals: None that he knows of.
Relationship Status: Single, but not for lack of trying. He tries to be smooth with the ladies but often times just ends up making himself look like a fool. Noah likes to pretend he is a lady-killer and lies about his experiences with women. He’ll often tell stories of some random babe he hooked up with at a party when kissing is the farthest he’s ever went with a girl.
Height/Body Type: 5’5” and constantly picked on for it. He has a lean build with slight definition from dancing but not enough to actually look menacing. When he walks he tends to slouch which only succeeds in making him look shorter.
Hair color: Black. It has a lot of curl to it so he keeps it short to stop it from becoming an afro.
Eye color: Dark brown
Clothing style: Noah hates dressing up which means he will never be seen in a button-up. The classiest he gets is a sweater thrown over an old t-shirt which sometimes even then looks sloppy. He loves ironic t-shirts, band tees, graphic t-shirt, pretty much anything simple. Gym shorts are one of his favorite things to wear because they are comfortable and allow for a lot of movement. In fact, he is often seen in shorts rather than jeans because he finds them constricting. Noah also is not against buying a girl shirt and wearing it just to get a laugh out of others. He owns about three One Direction shirts and is not afraid to actually wear them out and about.

Hobbies: His biggest hobby is obviously dancing and he hopes to one day be able to make a career out of it. He will dance to pretty much anything, even when someone happens to be tapping out a random beat. Another hobby of his is skateboarding. Since he has yet to obtain his license he relies on his board as a mode of transportation. Lastly, he dabbles in rapping though he is not the best. Noah tries to come up with his own verses but usually sticks to memorizing rap songs that already exist.
Family:
Mother – Silvia Wilson – Receptionist – Ever since he was a baby his mother has doted on him. He is very much a mommy’s boy and would do anything to appease her. Whenever he visits his family, which is pretty often, he never goes home empty handed because his mother is always sending him back with groceries. Since he is the baby of the family his mother is extremely protective over him and will do pretty much anything to make her baby boy happy. Sometimes he feels a bit suffocated by his mother but it is nice to know she cares.
Father – Derek Wilson – Car Salesman – Noah’s father has always made an active effort to be a part of his life. When he was younger, Derek often devoted all his attention to Noah rather than Maxine or Marco since he was his blood. His father is very proud of him and often brags about him to others at work. He enjoys spending time with his father and he was actually the one to spark Noah’s interest in skateboarding. Despite his father’s age he can still board like a pro and the two occasionally hit the skate park together to practice their moves.
Half-sister – Maxine Rossi – He pretty much has no relationship at all with his half-sister. She never showed him any affection and for some reason never even tried to connect with him. Whenever he sees her around town she often pretends he does not exist which hurts him deeply. Noah has tried multiple times to try and approach his sister, but Maxine always brushes him off. He understands she is most likely bitter because his father actually stayed around but it certainly should not give her the right to treat him so terribly.
Half-brother – Marco Batista – Much like his relationship with Maxine, Marco has never really been close with Noah. His half-brother only uses him for when he needs someone to babysit his kids which Noah agrees to out of the goodness of his heart. He is actually much closer to Marco’s children than his own brother.
Backstory: Noah entered the world with a target on his back, well, at least that is how his half-siblings saw it. A year into Derek Wilson and Sylvia Johnson’s relationship Sylvia informed him she was pregnant. Unlike her previous baby daddies who seemed uninterested in supporting their children, Derek promised he would stick around to take care of their child. He paid special attention to his son once Noah was born since he was of his own flesh and blood, meaning Maxine and Marco were often cast aside. The feud between Noah and his step siblings began early in life as the watched with jealousy as the youngest was showered with gifts. Even Sylvia paid more attention to Noah. She wanted to keep Derek around, so she put most of her focus on raising their son rather than her other two children from previous relationships.
From the time Noah could walk he also began to dance. It started off as just bobbing to the beat of the music while he sat in his car seat but once he was mobile no one could stop him. He was fixated by the videos of dancers his big brother watched and did his best to try and copy every move. By the time he was six-years-old he already knew how to do the windmill and spin on his head. With his father’s permission and supervision he went out on the streets to dance. He only made ten dollars that day but the experience was far better than the payout. His mother never really supported Noah’s interest in breakdancing, especially after he broke his leg when he was eight from pulling a move around. It sent him to the emergency room which led to surgery a week after and two months on crutches. Regardless of the injury, he continued dancing as soon as he was off his crutches.
If breakdancing was not risky enough, his father introduced him to a new hobby at the age of ten. He grew up looking at pictures of his dad skateboarding and new his father had a board but had never actually seen Derek use it. Finally his father took him out one day and showed him how it was done. His dad demonstrated some of the easier tricks for him and the two spent the entire day at the park laughing and showing off. Now with two potential harmful hobbies, his mother doted on him more than ever. She constantly kept track of where he was and who he was with while consequently neglecting her other two children.
Noah had always been popular in school. He was a privileged child among inner city kids and, although he was by no stretch rich, his parents made sure he had nice clothes. The boy was among some of the most popular in school. He constantly made jokes and goofed off in class but even his teachers seemed to enjoy his presence and would laugh along rather than sending him to detention (even when he deserved it). Although he had no game when it came to girls, he still did his best to try. One girl who always eluded him was his best friend Chanel. She was one of the brightest girls in school and apparently far too smart to fall for any of his attempt to woo her.
However, one night at a boy-girl sleepover party someone suggested a game of seven minutes in heaven. Noah ended up locked in the closet with Chanel. He knew she would not want to actually do anything since she had made it perfectly clear she just wanted to be friends, so he figured all they would do is talk. His friend surprised him by leaning in and kissing him, his first kiss ever. It was at that moment Noah decided he really liked how it felt to kiss someone. Her lips were so soft and warm he could have spent the rest of his life kissing her and not grow tired of it. Noah asked her to be his girlfriend shortly afterward to which she surprisingly accepted.
Unfortunately it was at this time his sister got accepted the Metric High in Salem, California. His mother, though she had proved to be not the best mom to Maxine, thought it would be best to move the entire family there. Noah could not have been more disappointed. He just had his first girlfriend and now he had to leave the state; however, he wanted to make his mother happy, so he broke up with Chanel. Once they arrived at Salem his mother had him audition for Metric’s special arts high school because of his breakdancing skills. He managed to make it in and even got a scholarship.
His new high school was far different from his last. Noah was no longer the popular guy but invisible. No one found his jokes that funny and the teachers were not as laid back as the ones from the inner city. Just when he thought there was no chance in him adapting to his situations he made a friend. The boy’s name was Heathcliff and their lockers were right next to each other. Since Cliff knew the struggles of being a new kid, he offered to help Noah around school and show him the town. Noah quickly considered the boy his friend even though it was apparent Cliff was more guarded than most people he knew. It didn’t matter though because he was funny and cool and made ridiculous puns he found hilarious.
Somehow he has managed to survive to his sophomore year of high school with help from his best friend. When he isn’t practicing his dance moves or skateboarding he can often be found at home just lazing around on the coach or playing video games. He really has not direction in his life as of now but figures it is typical for a teenager. Obviously a career in dance is hard to achieve but one day he hopes to be on America’s Best Dance Crew. Until then he will continue to goof off and be a typical teenage boy, mistakes and all.
