Author's Note(s):
Your muse should not know Noah is a robot unless you write Seto or Mokuba Kaiba. This is a heavily guarded secret due to Noah’s capabilities.
I can plot for your muse to figure it out, of course but they should not automatically know.
Edited: The exceptions to this can be Yuugi & co due to the events of the VIRTUAL WORLD ARC -- they can be told / know be it because Seto or Mokuba told them. That way they’re not totally stunned that a dead boy is walking around Domino City
Personality
In the English dub, Noa tends to use the expression "shall we?" in duels, he also speaks with a squeaky voice, though after his change of heart, his voice becomes more mature.In the Japanese version he references religion, such as referring to himself as a God or a creator and saying that demons (fiend/zombie monsters) belong in "hell". He tends to be very impolite with everybody, mainly the Big Five. He tends to laugh maniacally. He refers to himself with "boku," a word for "I" typically spoken by young males, besides being the same age as Kaiba, this could represent that he is still immature.
Biography / History
Noa Kaiba lived with his power-hungry and wealthy father, Gozaburo, in luxury. To groom him as the heir of Kaiba Corp., he was made to study heavily in various fields of academics, music and sports not unlike Seto Kaiba; unlike Seto, he genuinely enjoyed his lessons. To ensure he had the best education, Gozaburo hired only the best instructors and tutors. When Noa was around twelve years old, he was involved in a car accident which left him in a critical condition with little chance of him surviving. In the hope of saving his son, Gozaburo uploaded Noa's mind onto a supercomputer just before Seto was adopted. Noa's consciousness lived in a Virtual World that initially only included his own empty bedroom, but was ultimately expanded to include many other areas. Noa at first found his virtual existence almost pleasant, even enjoyable. The limits and bugs in the virtual citizens and his own virtual pet caused Noa to grow increasingly frustrated, agitated and in some cases, even sadistic to seek out some satisfaction in his virtual existence. While his intelligence (and ego) grew exponentially, with no real human contact, Noa's maturity remained at the level of a small child.Gozaburo had adopted Seto as a model for Noa, but eventually, he forgot about his own son, realizing he would always be a spoiled brat, in favor of Anzuching Seto. When Seto took over KaibaCorp, Gozaburo (in frustration and defeat) uploaded his own mind into Noa's Virtual World.
Virtual World
Six years later, Noa took his revenge on Seto. He kidnaps Seto and his passengers on Seto's Battle Ship during the semi-finals of Battle City, hoping to take one of the passenger's bodies, preferably Seto's. With the help of the Big Five (the former chief executives of KaibaCorp who had been trapped in the virtual realm after their failed coup) and his father, Noa locked Seto and the others in his virtual world and Dueled with them for their bodies.Unfortunately for the Big Five, they all fail to defeat the group, despite the mediocre and amateur Dueling abilities of such players as Anzu Mazaki, Hiroto Honda and Shizuka Kawai. The Big Five were only able to claim Tristan's body- and even Tristan was only acquired on a technicality as Shizuka actually won that Duel with the aid of Otogi after Tristan's defeat, with the combined Big Five being defeated by Yami Yuugi and Jonouchi Katsuya in a final Duel. Disgusted at the Big Five's failures, Noa deleted them (in the dub, he imprisoned them in isolated portions of the Virtual World) and decides to take on Seto himself, attempting to take Seto's body so that he could fulfill his role as Kaiba Corporation's heir. He brainwashed Mokuba Kaiba into regarding Noa as his true brother rather than Seto, in order to weaken Seto's resolve, before Noa personally Duels with Seto.
Though Noa proved to be more skilled than the Big 5, he could have used Shinato's effect to stop himself from being defeated, but used Mokuba to discourage Kaiba from attacking, as both Noa and Kaiba knew continuing with the attack would severely harm Mokuba, and because of how close Kaiba is with Mokuba, Noa knew Seto would never risk destroying him for the sake of winning one Duel. Just as Seto Kaiba was about to lose, he managed to get through to Mokuba and freed him from Noa's mind control. In retaliation, Noa turned both Seto and Mokuba into stone.
Noa then dueled with Yami Yuugi, who took Kaiba's place and used both his and Kaiba's cards to prove to Noa that he only won by trickery and deceit. Despite Yami Yuugi's protests against Noa's cruel tricks, Noa appeared to have the advantage in the duel, as he not only turned Yuugi's remaining friends to stone with each attack, but his use of "Shinato, King of a Higher Plane" as his Deck Master allowed him to add to his Life Points whenever a monster is sent to the Graveyard, along with his Spirit monsters. This left Yami Yuugi at an even greater disadvantage when he had started out with a very small number of Life Points to begin with, since Seto's had been worn down to almost nothing. However, although Noa even manages to defeat Yami Yuugi's three Dark Magicians ("Dark Magician", "Dark Magician Girl" and "Magician of Black Chaos"), he loses when the Pharaoh, having drawn "Card of Sanctity", is able to draw six new cards- one for each of his defeated friends-, allowing him to draw Kaiba's three "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" cards, and fused them to form the "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" to defeat Noa's strongest Spirit monster, Yami Yuugi subsequently using "De-Fusion" to separate them and deplete Noa's Life Points, now that he has no monsters on the field to protect him.
After Gozaburo revealed himself, Noa showed everyone that there was a way for them to escape, but when he shows Mokuba to it, he escapes in Mokuba's body and leaves the virtual realm. Using his new body, Noa attempts to blow up the computer by ordering a missile equipped satellite to destroy the submarine and the minds of everyone inside along with it
At the very last minute, Noa remembered how Mokuba had called him "brother" and still loved him, even after he tried to kill him and Seto. Realizing that what he was doing was wrong, Noa tried to call off the satellite, but found out that the computer he used to control was destroyed by Yami Marik. Despite that, he managed to give Mokuba back his body, get every one out of the virtual world to safety, and save them from being blown up. Before Noa evacuated Yuugi and his friends from his Virtual World Island, he apologized to them for his transgressions, and begged Yuugi to rescue Seto from Gozaburo, as they locked themselves in a Duel.
As everyone else hurried to escape, Noa thanked Mokuba for showing him true friendship and brotherhood, bids him farewell, and sent him away to safety along with Yuugi and the others. With Noa unable to stop the explosion, Noa's and Gozaburo's minds were destroyed, because Noa had made sure to keep Gozaburo from escaping into the net by binding himself with his father. After this, Noa was heard by Mokuba telling him goodbye (he is not heard in the dub, and this small scene with Mokuba is removed). Noa was finally able to accept the fact that he had died long ago, unlike his father. In the English dub, he is believed to have saved himself on a back-up file before the explosion, allowing the possibility of Mokuba one day being able to see him again.
