Noblesse/Characters

This is character sheet for the characters that appeared in Noblesse.

Cadis Etrama Di "Rai" Raizel

 * The Aloner: Especially in the past.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: Somewhat subverted. He is revealed to be.
 * Badass
 * Badass Boast
 * Berserk Button: Do not harm the innocent and the weak within his earshot, and especially do NOT brag about it.
 * Bishie Sparkle
 * Bishounen
 * Bloody Murder: His main attack. "I'll ask your sin...with your blood"
 * Chick Magnet: He has a whole legion of fangirls at school. Unfortunately for them, he's so...out of it and unapproachable.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * The Comically Serious
 * Compelling Voice
 * Curb Stomp Battle: He might as well be called the human personification of it. The only reason why a battle that involves him takes longer than it should is normally because he's using it as an opportunity to make it a tutorial for his underlings on how to utilize their power.
 * Dissonant Serenity
 * Expy: Of either (or both) Sebastian or Byakuya.
 * Even the Guys Want Him: Shinwoo seems to think he's pretty hot.
 * Fish Out of Temporal Water
 * Frozen Fashion Sense: Subverted. Rai goes from a formal/fancy black suit to a white school uniform right after he steps outside, in order to blend in...sorta.
 * Friendly Neighborhood Vampire
 * The Hero: A really unusual one
 * King Incognito: Pretty much the definition of Rai.  It can get pretty humorous when every single villain chooses to ignore or overlook him in favor of weaker characters. And the ones who eventually realize how powerful he is tend not to live very long.
 * Limited Wardrobe: His wardrobe consists of only school uniforms, and he still takes ages to choose what he wants to wear!
 * School Uniforms Are the New Black: Seems to have embraced this trope completely.
 * Magnetic Hero: Makes sense, considering how freaking good looking, and amazingly strong he is. Who wouldn't want to be his friend?
 * Mr. Fanservice
 * Nigh Invulnerable: It doesn't matter whether you can punch out walls, buildings, or even Cthulhu; he will casually block your punch.
 * No Sense of Direction: Played for Laughs pretty often.
 * Oh Crap: Induces this reaction from EVERYONE -- especially enemies right before they die.
 * Our Vampires Are Different
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old
 * Red Eyes Take Warning: And yet no one seems to think that he's anyone dangerous or important.
 * The Quiet One: He has as much lines as minor, throwaway villains, despite being the protagonist. Frank almost becomes Voice for The Voiceless because of this.
 * Showy Invincible Hero
 * Signature Move: Rai keeps to a strict schedule of sitting around and drinking tea for 95% of his day. He is never seen without his tea cup in his hand, quietly listening to everything that is happening... until he has something to say. Then there is the signature *click* of his tea cup hitting the saucer, and Words of Wisdom from The Ages flow forth from his mouth.
 * He also likes to look out of a window, a habit he's had for as long as he has lived.
 * A Spot of Tea: Seen drinking tea whenever he's not busy fighting (...or eating ramen).
 * The Stoic: He's the very definition of it.
 * Tall Dark and Handsome
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Ramen
 * Tranquil Fury: Lampshaded by the scanlator here.
 * What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome: Every single mundane task that he manages to do.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Doors?: For the longest time, Rai had trouble with opening Frankenstein's apartment door. (In fact, during the big battle of an entire story arc, it repeatedly cut to him trying to open the door with no success, and even ended with him breaking Frankenstein's window. ) He has since conquered this in a Crowning Moment of Awesome. Unfortunately, he now has to confront automatic doors...
