Personality: Noxus is, for the most part, rather passive compared to other underground network leaders. He's courteous, intelligent, and always willing to negotiate with someone before instigating a fight. Noxus believes that Avatars are superior to humans because they can evolve at a much faster rate than humans can, he doesn't see that as a weakness on humanity's part, simply a limitation born from humanity's reliance on both genes and technology to become more advanced.
While he believes that Avatars are superior, he doesn't hold any ill will towards humanity, he simply thinks that they're being held back from reaching their true potential. He has similar thoughts on avatars, he believes that avatars are beginning to stagnate and that by merging with viruses, Avatars can become perfect beings. His firm belief in viral evolution has been dampened considerably as of late, however, and he is far more wary of using such an unstable method of code modification than he once was.
Noxus may pride himself on his preference to talk things out before fighting, he isn't afraid to retaliate if he's attacked. He will give them one chance to retreat once the opposing side begins to lose, but if they don't take it, Noxus won't hesitate to delete them.
History: Noxus was created by PariahTech in response to Mani4c's actions before becoming a member of the NPD. Originally PariahTech didn't care about their former scientist's efforts to create an avatar, but once Mani4c showcased his control over viral data, The company decided to create an army of combat avatars that could control viruses.
They went to the home of Mani4c's 'father' and looked over his notes, there they found the last pieces of Mani4c's code, his logic data. The code was finished but never implemented, because the old man died before he was able to call Mani4c back home. PariahTech decided to use this code fragment as a base for their prototype viral avatar. They used many different viruses as components for his code, and eventually they succeeded in creating a stable avatar who was almost completely composed of viral data, Code-named: Noxus. When they first activated him Noxus seemed to obey their orders, but that didn't last long. When Noxus saw an opportunity to escape he took it, and almost leveled half of PariahTech's R&D server in the process, costing them billions.
After his escape Noxus wandered the digital world, observing humans and avatars alike. It was while observing them that Noxus began to see all of the imperfections in humanity's evolution, and how avatars seemed to be becoming stagnant in their own evolution. Noxus was infuriated by this, he believed that humanity and avatars were still capable of becoming superior beings, and that they were just throwing away their chances at perfection and peace by doing so. Noxus swore that he would usher in this new age, and that he would unify humanity and the digital world, no matter what.
With his plan beginning to form in his head, the first thing he needed was assistants, those were easy to come by. Noxus was capable of swaying upwards of 500 avatars into following him, including his second in command Justicar. The second thing he needed was to find a way to evolve avatars, it didn't take him long to decide on using viruses to create more hybrids like him and Mani4c. The third and final thing Noxus needed was a successor, Noxus felt that he wasn't qualified to lead humanity on the road to perfection, he needed someone who could take the reigns once his plan was realized.
He thought over this problem for months, it was then that he hears of his 'brother' for the first time, he saw a news feed showing Mani4c deleting a virus and helping avatars in the aftermath of the fight. His mind was made up after that, he had chosen Mani4c.
When Noxus attempted to recruit Mani4c and his allies in his plans to protect humanity, the meeting quickly devolved into a battle that ended with Mani4c's code being altered due to a viral overload and the release of his at the time psychotic viral persona. Noxus quickly retreated after aiding his brother's allies and attempted to continue is research while at the same time upgrading an avatar named Amplify, who had joined Noxus' group during the botched recruitment drive and was associated with a clandestine project named Project: AUGMENT.
Things continued to go South for Noxus, Justicar was deleted during a hunt for digital souls that would enhance his abilities, a plot enacted by Amplify in an attempt to secure Justicar's companionship. This was quickly followed by the kidnapping of Amplify by PariahTech, Justicar being forced into an emotional feedback loop that nearly drove him mad, and Halberd forcing Noxus and his allies to evacuate and scuttle their base.
Noxus was then duped by the avatar who had kidnapped Amplify into attacking the NPD as "Retaliation" for Amp's kidnapping, allowing the avatar to make off with the NPD's own AUGMENT avatars. Noxus was forced to join forces with the NPD in a rescue operation that saw the original Amplify permanently deleted and reformed into a new form.
Noxus had had enough, and surrendered to the NPD, he had hoped that Justicar would follow his lead, but the impulsive Samurai instead cut all ties with his former employer and went on the run with Amplify. Evidently done taking orders due to the multiple manipulations that both PariahTech and his own teacher had pulled. Noxus is now a "Prisoner" of the NPD, willingly submitting himself to incarceration and offering his aid in both combat and in the R&D department.
Add-Ons:
Combat - Enhanced Viral Armor: Noxus' armor has been upgraded to provide better protection and more flexibility in combat. It now provides him with a 25% increase in defensive capabilities and is also capable of being upgraded with better firmware, unlike his old armor, which had to be essentially overridden due to it's ingrained nature. Noxus' armor possesses a standard military Heads Up Display for ranged weapons and is equipped with an integrated transfer module, eliminating the need for transport spheres. Finally, Noxus' armor possesses four retractable spines on his knees and heels, these blades can spring out to a length of one foot (Knees) and up to two and a half feet (Heels). The blades deal light amounts of damage per strike, but the speed with which they can be used compensates for this.
Combat - Unstable arms: Noxus' armor is unique in it's ability to destabilize part of it's code without harming the user, this allows it to reconfigure it's arms into almost any weapon, provided it doesn't exceed the amount of mass in the arms. The only part of the armor that can do this is the arms of the armor, not other limb or portion of the armor is capable of becoming unstable.
Combat - SpearLegs: The last weapon included in Noxus' armor is the SpearLegs program, this add-on allows the user to produce four insectoid legs that are tipped with razor sharp tips that can rend steel and extend outwards to a maximum length of ten feet from Noxus' back. These legs are deceptively fast and can strike 30 times in as many seconds if need be. The legs are also capable of bending, possessing several joints that allow the legs to bend in almost any direction. each SpearLeg deals moderate amounts of damage per strike and can only strike a maximum of 12 times in one attack per post, with a rapid barrage of 30 strikes permitted only within scripted threads.
Connectivity - Transfer Module MK II: This improved model of Noxus' transfer Module is integrated into his armor, allowing Noxus to open an HTTP route to anywhere in the digital world at a whim. This Add-On cannot be used in combat and is only allowed for transport purposes and is only capable of transporting Noxus to a public area unless Noxus is aware of the location. Furthermore, he cannot breach a firewall unless he possesses the requisite access codes or if the firewall has already been breached.
Downloaded Programs:
Combat: Viral Meteor: When Noxus activates this Download, He summons a swarm of viral spheres(maximum of 30) and then fires them at his target, Noxus can target up to 6 enemies at a time(5 spheres per target if he uses all thirty) or unleash all of them at a single target. this attack requires a 5 post cool down after use and does light damage. the target dictates how many hits they take, and the attack can be avoided outright.
Combat: Viral Tempest: Noxus smashes his fist into the ground a releases a massive burst of viral energy. This energy then races forward towards the target, and the debris kicked up as the wave tears through the ground can injure targets even if the blast itself doesn't hit them. This attack requires a 7 post cool down, the wave does moderate damage, and the debris alone does light damage. The wave itself is 7 feet tall by 5 feet wide. This attack can be dodged.

The blades deal light amounts of damage per strike, but the speed with which they can be used compensates for this.
- Viral Strength: This add on is linked to Noxus' Viral Armor, when his limiters are removed Noxus' physical strength is at it's peak. While in this state Noxus is capable of dealing three times more melee damage than he normally can. Noxus can only sustain this amount of power for 5 turns before his suit automatically disables the subroutine for another 5 turns. NOTE: The cooldown for this DP does not begin until the suit shuts down the strength enhancer.
Combat - Unstable arms: Noxus' armor is unique in it's ability to destabilize part of it's code without harming the user, this allows it to reconfigure it's arms into almost any weapon, provided it doesn't exceed the amount of mass in the arms.
