Inventory: His typical outfit, but also the Ring of Lucii. It has no magical powers, of course.

Personality:
Having grown up as royalty, and being fairly isolated as a youth, Noctis is not the most socially aware person. Perhaps more aware than his friend Prompto, but he can still show times of being a bit socially stunted by saying things that are a bit cold or harsh. Even to those he cares about, and sometimes as a jest, but it definitely doesn't come across as such. It doesn't help that Noctis tries to maintain this cool and aloof facade to hide his actual shyness towards people--the decidedly emotionless act makes him seem a bit colder than he actually is.

To be frank, Noctis is a very emotional boy, and very soft hearted. He cares too much for his own good, and perhaps his distant act is in a way a means to protect himself. Regardless, he's easily suckered into helping people, even with mundane tasks, or even going way out of his way to help a stray cat eat. Honestly, he's more inclined to help animals than anything else, because he's a huge animal lover.

Even so, before his journey to Altissia (where he was expected to meet and marry his childhood friend he hasn't seen in 12 years), he often times did community service and the like in the crown city. The general populace knew of his kind-hearted nature, and that carried through even leaving the city. He tries to act like some cool aloof guy, but at the end of the day his good nature shines through.

During his time traveling across Lucis, he gets to meet and interact with the people of his kingdom for the first time, while acting as if he isn't the prince. Laying low since the empire was seeking him out. As he does this, he gets pulled into all sorts of shenanigans, even if he's not exactly excited about it. He's, of course, not afraid to admit his disinterest, either commenting in sassy ways, or straight up whining. In one such quest, they were sent help the quest giver acquire his shipment of beans, and his first response was to whine and say "Beeeaaaaansss..." like a petulant child. If you thought Noctis was mature, think again. Of course he got teased relentlessly by the quest giver, and his friends, to his obvious frustration.

Regardless the task, however, he always does the job. He's not one to make false promises, even if the task is grueling or generally unpleasant. Often times he can over estimate himself, and take on tasks that leave his friends worried and uncertain they'll survive the endeavor. They always do, but they don't always come out unscathed. But it's through this stubborn overestimation of himself that leads to some dangerous shenanigans, and plenty of near death experiences. That never seems to stop him, however.

He's a hard worker, even if he seems to be tired all the time, often times commenting on it, or having issues even waking up most the time. He presses on, however, even if he'd probably prefer to nap instead of doing the task at hand, or anything for that matter. Despite this, he doesn't do less than his best, even if he might whine or complain the whole way. Which he certainly does. He's a bit of a whiny brat at times.

However, despite how he might be willing to do these monotonous to life threatening tasks for his citizens, Noctis actually has never been keen on becoming king. He actually abhors the life of a royal, and wishes for something far more mundane. Often commenting on how he just wants to play video games in his hotel room and so on. Growing up he feared his dad dying because of the strain the powers that come with his family line put on him, and feared even more having to assume his role and responsibility.

When that did come to pass, it certainly wasn't over any usual circumstances, his father being murdered, and his city being captured by their enemy nation. Noctis fought off his grieving with anger, which seems to be a common coping mechanism for him. Or, at the very least, his first emotional reaction to trauma, other than denial.

Several times when met with emotional turmoil he erupts into anger. Often times swearing and yelling as he attempts to garner a grasp on the situation. When he hates someone, he doesn't seem to hold back his contempt, spitting vitriol at them, and if they are a threat to himself and others--he doesn't hold back trying to eliminate them. Especially when it comes to protecting or getting vengeance for someone he cares for.

In fact, his worry for his friends, and his protectiveness and loyalty towards them is absolutely binding. He would do a lot for them, and sacrifice so much to protect them. However, even with that stated, he isn't without his own flaws or childishness. He tends to just as easily take them for granted, even if he doesn't ultimately mean to. Growing up as royalty, and being waited on hand and foot tends to instill a certain kind of entitlement, but even so, he does his best to treat them as equals and to act as such, but it doesn't always come through. Nevertheless, when it comes down to it, he doesn't value his own life above his friends' or their general safety.

Noctis can also be pretty cruelly blunt and dismissive towards his friends. He's a bit socially stunted from being sheltered in his early youth, and so sometimes his teasing doesn't quite come across as teasing... and he doesn't seem to notice. He's also not one to lead someone on, which a perfect example of this was when he and his friend's little sister was wandering around Lestallum, and she kept trying to make it seem like some date, and he seemed wholly uninterested. Of course, much to her frustration, but he certainly wasn't going to play along.

Despite Noctis' reservations to his duty as king, he still goes through with it. He's a sacrificing sort, and no matter how he might try to make himself seem, he wants to do good for his people. Particularly for those he cares about. He pushes his own desires aside, and does what is expected of him, no matter the personal cost. Even if that cost is his own life and family line.

All in all Noctis is a Good Boy™, doing good by others, and willing to sacrifice his happiness and life for the good of his people. He might try to act cool and detached, but that's just to cover up how much of a soft soul he is. Even if he can act rash and rebellious at times, he still means well, and ultimately will do the good thing, even if he doesn't necessarily want to.

Flavor Abilities:
Noctis is an agile and skilled fighter, he's proficient in many weapons types ranging from daggers, to great axes, to even giant ninja stars (???). He seems to just be able to pick up weilding weapons naturally even if he's never exactly practiced with them before hand.

He's also very acrobatic, with a lot of his fighting skill relying on his ability to warp, phase, and flip through the air. He's got quick reflexes, parrying and countering attacks with ease. He seems to be able to jump and do flips with relative ease, and has pretty good stamina to boot.

Suitability:

Noctis grew up in a very large and established city, where he didn't have to fend for his life. He had since left there, and was traveling out in the wilderness with friends, but he still had it pretty comfortably. With their support, his dad's car, and his powers, he didn't have to worry about all too much against the wilds of Lucis--sans the daemons, of course. I think it'd be fun to remove all his safety nets and see how he would thrive in the unforgiving snows of Norfinbury, having to think for himself for once.
