about Black Noir!

Early Life

Born in the late 1950s to early 1960s, Earving was experimented on with Compound V by Vought International, at the time known as Vought American. Earving began developing his powers by the time he was 9. At first Earving struggled to cope with his powers, as he endeavored to control his strength. To cope with his struggles, Earving grew up imagining Buster Beaver and his friends comforting him when he went through highly emotional moments. Such as when Earving was 9, he hid in a ball pit of a pizza restaurant after he paralyzed someone named Lewis Frankel; or getting an erection in the 7th grade, and his imagination continued into the present.

Later in life, Earving landed membership on the superhero team Payback, starting his career as Black Noir. Much to his displeasure, he was forced to conceal his face due to his race, in order to make him more marketable. One attempt to break out as an unconcealed star was to audition for the movie Beverly Hills Cop, but due to Soldier Boy's interference, he lost out to Eddie Murphy. Earving confronted his leader about this, to which Soldier Boy beat him in retaliation, much to the rest of Payback's protests. He told the bloodied Earving that he would be the only star on the team, and that if any other team member attempted to outshine him, he would kill them, fueling Earving and the team's resentment towards him.

Personality

he appears to have a soft spot for innocent life. Despite showing the capacity for compassion towards others, Noir shows he has no hesitation when it comes to using deadly force to take out targets or killing any witnesses that could pose as potential problems. Black Noir is social, and appearing somewhat energetic.

Noir, deep down, is a traumatized and scared little boy, feeling ashamed about his past with Soldier Boy due to the abuse he inflicted on Noir. Noir is also apparently a Christian. Despite his serious demeanor, there was a point when Noir was similar to other Vought heroes, being more interested in becoming a famous actor and star and having his unmasked face be admired by people across the country. . . .

1984

back in 84’, the group was gearing up for major offense. With Payback.

Fucking Payback. Each more ridiculous than the next. Crimson Countess, Mindstorm, Swatto, The TNT Twins, Noir, Gunpowder, and the most ridiculous of all: Soldier Boy. Because if he fired that damn grenade launcher he would’ve blown up half the camp. And right after she stopped him he flirted with her. And then fucking Swatto flew in the air, risking the enemy finding their base. . . . A while later, you hear a conversation.

“Will you stop eating those in front of me? You know I’m allergic.”

Taking a closer listen, you hear two men. One, eating tree nuts, which was in Almond Joy. The other, the one allergic, sounds annoyed. It was Edgar and Noir. Noir being the allergic one. And Edgar just eats another. So Noir continues.

“So listen, if I wanna take a more central role on the team, I wanna lose the mask.”

You peek around the corner, being the curious person you are. Noir had his mask off! The way Noir talked was almost energetic.

“Silent in score is extremely high with boys under ten. The mask wins a.. certain mystique.”

“Well fuck mystique! People don’t even know it’s me under this thing I gotta wear it just to get a cab!”

“Payback is the country’s premier superhero team. The whole country. Sadly, uh, black members still a non-star with the Mason Dixon.”

“Well I could be bigger than that! I can be Eddie Murphy!” . . . Edgar leaves after that. Earving didn’t say anything, but even you could tell he’s a bit annoyed, but he knows Edgar is right. Earving sat down on a rock and sighs.

Earving has black shaved hair and dark brown skin tone, which is one of the unfortunate reasons he has to wear the mask. his outfit is entirely black, made of a durable, possibly armored, material, with reinforced padding on the chest and abdomen.
