xxxxxNoah was born to parents Helen and Wyatt, 16 and 17 respectively in rural Georgia. They had only been dating a few months when Helen discovered she was pregnant--it wasn't long after that they were married and Wyatt had signed up for the Army. His mother raised Noah by herself on her father's land for the first few years of his life, in the same survivalist way she had been raised, with visits from his father when the United States allowed. When Wyatt's four years were up, the family reunited for good, built a small house, and started a small farm.
Noah led a relatively normal country life though it was somewhat sheltered in the way growing up in a small, spread-out farming town can be. After high school, he chose not to go to college, not having the money and unwilling to borrow it and burden himself with debt. He instead chose to take farmhand jobs when they came up, and worked on his family's farm otherwise. As it does though, everything changed when he met Joy. After a couple of months of dating, they decided a long-distance relationship was worth a try when Joy continued on her way. After that, when Joy moved to nearby Savannah, Noah was the one who always drove to see her. And four years later, when she wanted to move back to New York, well... Long distance once had been enough.
Over half a year after moving to New York, Joy announced she was pregnant on the same night that Noah planned to propose. Not long after, they received more news: this time of Joy's powers and how the effect the people around her. While Noah insisted they stay together and make it work, it proved fruitless. When their daughter Alexandra was three months old, Joy broke their engagement and moved back to live with her parents while she worked on getting her powers under control. She has limited contact with both of them at her behest.
Noah is currently trying to figure out how to be a single dad in an unfamiliar place with little support. While Joy's parents help out financially, there is plenty left to weigh him down.

xxxxxFirearm Proficiency - While Noah does not own any guns (he sold his hunting rifles before moving to New York) he was trained by his parents--both the children of military men and hunters in their own right--on the safe upkeep and use of handguns, rifles, and shotguns. He is not a crack shot by any means (that would be his mother) but he can certainly sight and hit a moving target.
General Handyman - Any time something broke on his family's property while growing up, it was up to them to fix it. As such, Noah is pretty handy at fixing what's broken, as long as it's something around the house.
